Rob McCartin

Thank You!  That is what the New York State Bureau of Emergency Medical Services would like to say to all our EMS Providers during EMS Week 2022.

EMS Week is just a few weeks away and we would like your help again this year recognizing those EMS providers who have gone above and beyond.

We are looking for your help to recognize outstanding NYS EMS Providers during EMS Week 2022 for the work they have done during this past year!

The Bureau, for the third year is offering EMS organizations the opportunity to directly nominate a team or provider to be recognized during EMS Week for their contributions to Emergency Medical Services.

Below is a submission form where EMS agencies can make a nomination.

EMS Week 2022 ~ Nominations for EMS Team / Provider Recognition | Survey Builder (ny.gov)

We have added a new option to upload a picture of the team or EMS provider.   Adding a photo is completely optional however a few award recipients may be selected for additional recognition by posting their story and photo on our social media.

NOMINATION GUIDELINES:

• ONE NOMINATION: One nomination is permitted per agency; however, the nomination can be an individual or a team (team being a department company, specific group, the agency, etc.)
• GOOD STANDING: Nominated individuals or team members must be in good standing with the Department of Health
• SUBMISSION BY: Submissions will be accepted from an EMS agency, Course Sponsor, County EMS Coordinator, REMSCO, REMAC or Program Agency (only one nomination is permitted per EMS organization)

NOMINATION INFORMATION (the info needed to complete the form):

• AGENCY CONTACT INFO: Contact information for the agency and the agency leader
• NOMINEE CONTACT INFO: the form does ask for contact information of the nominee or the primary point of contact for a team.  Please make sure you have an e-mail address.
• CATAGORIES: We have selected the following categories:
  • Clinical Performance
  • Agency / Regional Leadership
  • Training and Education
  • Operations
  • Innovation and Teamwork
  • Other: If your agency feels there is a different reason, we gave you an “other” option to create a different category!
• THREE HIGHLIGHTS: Think about three reasons (a few words or one sentence each) on why you feel they should be nominated.

Submission for nominations are NOW OPEN! 

EMS Week 2022 ~ Nominations for EMS Team / Provider Recognition | Survey Builder (ny.gov)

The nominations will remain open during EMS Week until we have met our maximum number, so we encourage agencies to submit early, but remember, you can only submit once.

Nominations should only take a few minutes to submit and can be done from a computer or smart phone device.

Thank you to every NYS EMS Provider, we really appreciate all the work you are doing every day and especially during these very challenging times.

Happy EMS Week!

Ryan Greenberg

Greetings Everyone,

It was announced on yesterdays EMS Agency Provider and Leadership call that Hotel’s for the up coming VS conference are now available for reservations. Click the attached link to take you to the designated hotels.

https://www.vitalsignsconference.com/event/f56916ca-a956-4c41-8ef4-4806e160dd2b/websitePage:318f285f-dee0-415e-b11f-a75c7003371b

Greetings Everyone,

A message from the Bureau Data Team:

An update has been made to the Paper PCR Portal platform on the New York State Elite Site to improve ease of entry for providers and improve data collection.  The field Incident Zip Code has been added to the form with a corresponding Incident Address Location Lookup button.  Providers will now only need to enter the zip code of the scene address and then click the lookup button and the Incident County and Incident State fields will be filled in automatically.

This change is being implemented to not only make data entry easier for providers, but to also make these charts available in Biospatial, a platform the Department of Health utilizes for data monitoring and performance measures.  The Biospatial platform will become available to Regional Program Agencies and EMS Agency leadership to utilize in the near future.

Agencies encountering any issues with this update should reach out to the Data and Informatics team at emsdata@health.ny.gov

Reminder:  submission of patient care reporting through the Paper PCR Portal does not qualify an EMS agency to participate in the Continuing Medical Education Recertification Program.

Reminder:  all patient care reports are required to be submitted to the Department no later than four (4) hours after the completion of the incident no less than 90% of the time.
