I was doing my quarterly competencies and saw this video. This subject is very passionate to me and I felt compelled to share this video. Safety can not be after thought, it can not be something that we just talk about, it has to be something we practice each and every day. I'd like to know that each and everyone of you watch this video and take it to heart. It is so easy to just go with the flow. It is to easy to not speak up. If you don't call it off for yourself do it for your family, friends and co-workers.<br /><br />

We realized that the look didn't make it easy to read or navigate so we changed it up a little bit. Let us know what you think or if you have some suggestions. Hoping to get some more content posted for everybody. It's just been tough while trying to fly and work the ground. Promise it is coming soon. We are working on trying to develop even more "departments" and give everybody something they would like to have. <br />
<br />
Our vision is big and when we get it together we think you will be happy with what we are working towards. Make sure you give us your thoughts and comments. The dream is to build what we all have been looking for. A one stop location where you can find the resources you want and to make it a fun place to check out. <br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks for you patience and your input,<br />

Super stoked to get the new monitor outfitted and deployed. Really looking forward to getting to use this one in the field. Seems to be so user friendly both in function and in weight!! Have you had any experience with these and any suggestions or things to keep in mind? </div>

What a Joke! It should be open your wallet time!!! I'm gonna start off by saying that I am sorry for what is probably going to be a rant of unseen proportions... So, brace yourself and let me know if you feel in anyway the same as I do or should I just be happy to have a job and <u><i><b>some</b></i></u> insurance.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We just got off of a webinair going over our NEW insurance. OMG!!! I am absolutely floored... I mean our Premiums (and that is an understatement) have shot through the roof. Not only have they gone up but, so have our deductibles and our out of pocket expenses. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
My partners out of pocket expenses, because she lives in an out of network area, will be just short of half of her take home pay. Mine aren't much better... You have to be kidding me!! I thought that it was called the <b><u>Affordable Care Act</u></b>!!! There is nothing affordable about this kind of health coverage... </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Why do I have to pay incredibly high premiums and get substandard coverage? Why is it that I have the most dangerous job in health care, short of being a combat medic and get the worst insurance? Now lets talk about life insurance. Yea, the company pays for it but, $100,000.... Really? Are you kidding me? That's all I'm worth to you? I would hope that I generate several times that much in income for the company every year... Even the military gets $400,000 (and not like that is even enough)... Sure we can purchase more but, then because of the job we do the premium is through the roof and they cap how much we can get! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is horrible for anybody not to have health insurance. I have no problem paying a little more to help out those who are less fortunate than me. But, who is it that came up with this kind of system. I have to chose between contributing to my 401k or purchasing health insurance... Oh, there isn't a chose, I have to buy insurance... So, I can retire on my Social Security... Ya, like that will be there when I get to retirement age. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ok, now that I have that out of my system... Well, sort of but, not really. I am sure that I have struck a couple of nerves out there. By all means, let me have it... Agree or disagree... I am sure there are both sides out there. Or at least I hope so. I'd hate to feel like I am some sort of radical conservative mad man. I mean come on I'm nowhere near as bad as Uncle Ted, right?</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"> I have worked in several different types of EMS systems on nearly ever level throughout my career (27 plus yrs).<span> </span>I have seen a big shift in how things are done, and, for the most part, it has been about improvement, providing better care and doing it in a timely manner.<span> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span> </span>With that being said, I have a question that has been spurred by some frustration on my part.<span> </span>Please understand that this is just my anecdotal assessment and I am sure that there is a good reason why I have seen a hesitation to call for a helicopter to the scene.<span> </span>I would like to hear from any and all of you out there.<span> </span>It doesn’t matter to me what your level of training or experience is.<span> </span>I don’t care if you are, like me, in your third decade of EMS or just starting your career, paid or volunteer, it doesn’t matter. Just tell me what goes into the decision to call for a helicopter where you work.<span> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span> </span><span> </span>What I am saying is that I have seen countless times when there is a call for a significant trauma patient in a rural setting (some 30+ min response time) and the ambulance rolls out to the scene Code 3 (lights and siren).<span> </span>Once on the scene, they realize that this is “really bad”.<span> </span>Then they call for a helicopter and are given an ETA and decide to transport the patient or patients to the small local hospital, because the ETA of the helicopter/helicopters is about the same as the transport time to the small local hospital. <span> </span>Then requiring transfer to a larger Trauma Facility and delaying definitive care.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span> </span>The next paragraph is just an example of several calls I have been involved with and not necessarily a particular one just representative of a particular type of scenario that seems to repeat itself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span> </span>We have been put on stand-by and gone out to the helicopter with the rest of the crew waiting for the go, or no-go call.<span> </span>Some 20-30 minutes later, we hear an ambulance running Code 3 by the airport where we are based.<span> </span>We look at each other and shake our heads.<span> </span>We could have been to the scene of the accident by this time.<span> </span>We continue to wait to get the go or no go call.<span> </span>Another 20 minutes goes by and then we are told to stand down.<span> </span>We assume that the ambulance arrived to find the patient was not injured as bad as first thought.<span> </span>After we go back inside we hear the ambulance returning in the other direction (again Code 3) another 20-30 minutes later.<span> </span>We look at each other and again shake our heads.<span> </span>Some more time passes and we get paged out for an inter-facility call from the local hospital to the nearest trauma facility.<span> </span>After we arrive we find out that indeed this is the original patient we were put on stand-by for and then cancelled.<span> </span>The patient is indeed “really bad” and probably won’t make it.<span> And the definitive care has been delayed not by minutes but, by over an hour.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">I promise I am not a vulture who is trying to horn in on trauma calls. I really just want to provide patients who are the unfortunate victims of some crazy accident the appropriate care for the injuries they have encountered. This means getting them to the only cure for significant trauma. A surgeon or team of surgeons and an operating room standing-by by the fastest means possible.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> I know what I would hope was done!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">First,<b> </b>if you get sent out on something that is a long way from where you are posted or where the local hospital is and the incident is significant, or has the potential to be “really bad” why don’t responders request a helicopter right from the time they are dispatched?<span> </span>Second, is it a state, local, service directed protocol or just dependent on the crew who is responding?<span> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">I just want to conclude by saying that I am not trying to steal anybody’s thunder or generate more revenue for the company I work for.<span> </span>I am just trying to figure out why people don’t try to move OUR patients to the right place as soon as possible.<span> </span>If it was your family or loved one, what would you want the responders to do? </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"> How secure is your Helicopter, your Base or your Quarters? Crew members bring a lot of personal items to
work with them, often expensive items. We assume that coworkers and
others will not take them. That is
unless it is something left in the refrigerator, right? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Our employers provide
expensive equipment and tools that allow us to do our jobs, not to mention the
controlled drugs we are responsible for keeping secure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again, often we assume that everyone is as
honest as we are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is this a flaw in our
character or belief system?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Are we
setting ourselves, and our employer up to be victims?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">Patients have faith that we will be honest
and respect their belongings and personal property, as well as their personal
information.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And as a general rule this
belief is fair and well deserved.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hopefully, by the time the Air Crew team members get to the point of
being in this type of position, those less than trustworthy have been weeded out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of us have gone through countless hours of
training about HIPPA and understand the repercussions of violating the plainly
written rules and laws, as well as the unspoken ones.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">We need to remember that not everyone has the
same moral compass that we do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Generally, this</span> is against our nature and a hard pill to
swallow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, we need to remember that only
we can protect ourselves, our property and our equipment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">It is a horrible feeling to go to your
aircraft and find a piece of equipment that is vital to the operation
stolen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It may put us out of service and
prevent us from responding to a request for help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An incident like this may cost a person their
life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not to mention it will cost the
company money in both lost revenue and replacement cost for the equipment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">So, whose job is it to ensure security of our
equipment?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is it yours?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is it mine?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Or is it the responsibility of the company we are working for?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My answer is simple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is all of the above.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of us have to assume responsibility for
security.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is ours, in that we should
use all reasonable means to secure our equipment at all times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If for some reason there is a flaw in the
system, it is our responsibility to point out the flaw and provide a suggestion
or resolution for the flaw.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we have
provided the insight, it becomes the responsibility of those we reported the
issue to and ours to follow up on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">I have the expectation that the company I
work for will provide me with a secure facility with reasonable mechanisms to
ensure safety and security.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is my
responsibility to use these to safeguard my personal property, as well as the
company’s equipment and property.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are
all human and prone to falling short from time to time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is why we work as a team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The idea is that if one of us falls short,
the others will pick up on it and address the issue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We do this all the time when we are operating
but, when we are relaxed and don’t feel in danger this can cause a
failure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">Both SAFETY and SECURITY are the
responsibility of each of us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Only we
can protect ourselves, our partners, and our employers from danger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It does not matter where that danger is
coming from, it is up to us. Let’s step it up and watch out for each other.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
