PRO QA – EMD – AVL KOOTENAI COUNTY FIRE AND EMS DISPATCH GUIDELINES 2015 major change in EMS – FIRE – POLICE 911 Dispatch Procedures

Training Overview  Pro QA: Priority Medical Dispatch  “Coding” of a Call: Categories of calls “Determinant Codes”  Kootenai County Specifics  Identify changes to Dispatch Radio announcement of calls

Definitions:  Pro QA: Proprietary name to Priority Dispatch Systems' process for collection of 911 info, assigning a call determinate and defining level of response for the specific event. Police, Fire and EMS.  Determinant Code: Call classifications designed to determine level of response. ECHO, DELTA, CHARLIE, BRAVO, ALPHA, and OMEGA.  CAD: Computer Aided Dispatch  AVL: Automatic Vehicle Locator  EMD: Emergency Medical Dispatch  PDI: Post Dispatch Interview: Pre – Post Dispatch process

Pro QA: Medical Priority Dispatch  A Software mechanism designed for incoming 911 calls. Allows Dispatchers to methodically process call information and formally assign it an appropriate response.  Used for Police, Fire and EMS call event data and processing through 911  Provides an Internationally recognized Quality Assurance process for Dispatch performance measurement with consistent call assignment

Pro QA: How does it work?  911 Call Event Entry  Asking Key Questions  Pre-Arrival (PAI) Instructions  Post-Dispatch Instructions (PDI)  “Close Case” with option for future QA / Review Pro QA: Used by 56,000+ Communication Center Professionals, Communication Centers In 45 Countries, 21 languages around the globe.

Priority Dispatch Response  Call “Determinant” determines or identifies response of units to event  Response Options are:  All Units Emergency  Closest Emergency, other units non-emergency  All units Non-emergency  Single unit non-emergency

Pro QA Baseline Example  Determinates establish the appropriate response  Central Dispatch will assign and advise the type of call determinate that has been selected in the voicing of event  Departments have options in how they set up “Call Response Cards” to fulfill the desired response for EACH type of call.

Determinant Descriptions: PAI and PDI provide clarity for Dispatch to further classify call and provide best Information and most appropriate response to 911 call for assistance
