EMS Community this message was received by our office by Scott Then, Catholic Health Liaison:
At the moment the Choate St exit from the ER is blocked due to road construction. The only way in or out of the ambulance area is off Abbott. Please be careful when entering the ambulance bay at Buffalo Mercy. Security is supposed to be out there to make sure things go well, but ambulances need to be aware.

The current EMS soiled linen room is going to be made into a lost and found area. We will be moving the soiled linen hampers into the alcove where the fresh linen is stored and the fresh linen into the brown cabinets between the EMS double doors. In order for us to make these moves we need EMS to come and pick up the items in the cabinets listed as EMS linen and the one directly next to it NO LATER than July 14th. If you could please reach out to the EMS agencies. We also need to be able to clean and sanitize the shelfs and have shelfs placed in the other cabinet for the fresh linen to be stored. Thank you!

Today the WREMAC approved a new medication and equipment formulary for agencies to use as a tool when stocking supplies other than what is required in our 800 inspections. The first link below is the WREMAC Medications and the second is the equipment. We do want to add that this is the bare minimum requirement set by the WREMAC. Agencies should gauge higher quantities based on call volume.
