Oberndorf called to order the City Manager's Briefing re EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM in the Council Conference Room, City Hall, on Tuesday, February 8,2005, at 1:30 P.M. Council Members Present: Harry E. Diezel, Robert M. Dyer, Vice Mayor Louis R. Jones, Reba S. McClanan, Richard A, Maddox, Mayor Meyera E. Oberndorf, Peter W Schmidt, Rosemary Wilson and James L. Wood Council Members Absent: Jim Reeve [Entered: 1:55 P.M.} Ron A. Villanueva [Entered: 1:45 P,M.} - 2- CITY MANA GER 'S BRIEFING EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM ITEM # 53543 1 :30 P.M. Charles W. Meyer, Chief Operating Officer and Chairman - Emergency Response Committee, advised major changes to the Emergency Response System were made in mid-September. The ERS Committee does not consider the work finished, will continue to examine the issues involved and make recommendations. This Interim Report provides information relative experiences in the ERS system since July First and the changes made at that point with the full system implemented in mid-September. Battalion Chief T. J. McAndrews, Fire Department, advised May 6, 2004, the Chief Operating Officer, provided City Council the Emergency Response System Proposal, involving long term system enhancements to address some of the internal concerns and general needs of the community. ERS CONCERNS 2004 Ambulance staffing Advanced Life Support (ALS) staffing Firefighter - ALS Incident command procedures Response times ENHANCEMENT ACTIONS Established minimum ambulance staffing level of eight (8) ambulances EMS Department hired twenty-four (24) career medics and four (4) supervisors Rescue squad Advanced Life Support (ALS) providers reassigned to ambulances. Career personnel assigned to provide primary zone car staffing Firefighter - Advanced Life Support (ALS) job description created Fire Department ERS Battalion Chief position created One hundred forty-four (I 44) Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) deployed on police patrol units (four hundred plus (400+) officers are trained to operate these units) ERS Executive Committee reconstituted to provide more strategic oversight (Chief Operating Officer Charles Meyer now Chair) February 8, 2005 - 3 - CITY MANA GER 'S BRIEFING EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM ITEM # 53543 (Continued) Currently there are forty-two (42) ALS Fire Fighters with another eight (8) in the evaluation phase, and with an expectation of being released for duty in the next two (2) months, There is also a commitment of ten (IO) other ALS providers in the Department, who have committed to joining the program in late Summer, MEMBER SATISFACTION Changes have been well received by all members of the Emergency Response System Career personnel have smoothly integrated with volunteers Significant firefighter concerns have been addressed All members are following the Incident Command System and are under the direction of one Incident Commander on emergency scenes, There has also been in an increase in the number of staffed ambulances, The Fire Fighters are now practicing directly off the fire apparatus. Battalion Chief McAndrews displayed a colored map indicating typical deployment of the Advanced Life Support (ALS) Fire Trucks (11 staffed ALS apparatus) located at nine (9) different stations. Division Chief Edward Brazle - Emergency Medical Services, displayed the colored maps indicating the Zone Deployment Plan. Volunteers also still come in to help fill-in on the zone cars providing extra shifts, Using the baseline deployment model of eight (8) ambulances, the City is divided into coverage zones. Northern Area 2 ambulances Central Corridor 3 ambulances Southern Area 3 ambulances Division Chief Brazle advised there is a Career Medic on the zone car assigned at the Creeds Station. Ifa call comes in at the rural area of the City, this Medic responds and joins with either the Rescue Squad personnel there or the Fire personnel to make up an ambulance crew, RESPONSE TIMES REVIEWS Established new definition of response time (911 to door) Monitoring 90% achievement level instead of averages Established steps along the time line for performance monitoring February 8,2005 - 4 - CITY MANA GER 'S BRIEFING EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM ITEM # 53543 (Continued) Initial Findings Improved response times noted for both EMS and Fire Initial report focuses on first help to arrive on Priority 1 calls (any unit Fire or EMS) Limited time to collect data makes it difficult to draw firm conclusions Division ChiefBrazle displayed charts entitled: First Help to Arrive Achievement (First EMS or Fire Unit) and Overall Response Times. Any unit, Fire or EMS, "nine times out of ten" will arrive in twelve (12) minutes. After intervention and after the addition of the implementation of extra personnel, this response time has dropped to eleven (II) minutes and thirty (30) seconds. Thus, a 30-second improvement. Overall response times have been further broken down into ambulances, zone car and engines/ladders. The biggest improvement has been in the ambulances involving all priority 1 calls, City-wide, from 18.55 to 17:10 minutes. Ongoing Projects Fire EMT-Enhanced Program EMS Volunteer Recruiting Fire Advanced Life Support (ALS) deployment Benchmarking various elements of performance Global Positioning System (GPS) Review There are seven (7) members in the Fire Recruit School testing for the Emergency Medical Technician Enhanced state exam on Saturday, February 12,2005. Over 90% of the personnel on the ambulances are volunteers. Fire Chief Gregory Cade, advised relations between the two (2) Departments (Fire and Emergency Medical Services) are very positive, WHAT'S NEXT? Evaluating response time performance for potential improvements ERS elements under review include: Baseline ambulance staffing and coverage levels Communication Center processes Firefighter - ALS deployment Station locations February 8, 2005 - 5 - CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM ITEM # 53543 (Continued) Chief Bruce Edwards advised the existing data clearly states when two (2) ambulances were added in September, our response times dropped immensely. It is becoming apparent that it is imperative to reach a goal of ten (IO) ambulances rather quickly which would also require additional career staff as well as volunteers. Two (2) additional ambulances in the North End is desirable for deployment. The more ambulances, the shorter the travel time and the response times decrease, Chief Edwards advised this report only encompasses three and a 'half months of data, There is a definite trend that an increase in ambulances does make a difference, Catheryn Whitesell, Director - Resource Management, advised relative additional ambulances being included in the Budget, Emergency Medical Services has made requests for additional staffing. This item is still under review. Only three (3) months of data is currently available. The City Manager has not finalized the proposed Operating Budget. Mr. Meyer advised since the first of the year, the Emergency Medical Response Committee has been focusing their energies on the problem areas. As of July First, Emergency Response, compiled all data of Police, Fire and Emergency Medical Services on one system. Thus, there is a standard measurement. The Committee wants to be assured whatever resources are placed into the system are best deployed. Mayor Oberndorf referenced copy of the Independent Virginia Beach Emergency Medical Service Ambulance Staffing report, submitted by William P. Bailey, President - Virginia Beach Professional Firefighters. Mr. Bailey has filed a complaint with the State, Code Enforcement agency and the Virginia Beach Volunteer Rescue Squads which remains under active investigation at this time. Said information is hereby made a part of the record. Deputy Chief Brazle advised the Rescue Squads are under investigation at this time. Any time a complaint is made to the Department of Health for any reason, an investigation is conducted. The issue entails the interpretation of the regulations as far as staffing and service delivery, For years, EMS has operated mutually supporting squads "back and forth" as if one unified system. This has been permitted by the Commonwealth for many years. The Commonwealth has a Compliance Manual which determines how to interpret the regulations, which stated: "Staffing through mutual aid is an acceptable way to provide service. " The Commonwealth is now re-evaluating that compliance and how they wish to define "staffing". EMS is working closely with the Commonwealth relative this definition, EMS does have a copy of Mr. Bailey's report.
