Greetings Everyone,

An AMLS (Advanced Medical Life Support) course is being offered. If you have never taking this course before I recommend it. Not only does it provide you with great information, it can be used for CME if needed.

Greetings Everyone,

I just wanted to remind all the providers and agencies about WREMAC Credentialing. We are just a little over a month away to making sure that we get that completed so please make sure that you get that done and submitted in the portal. Agency Leaders, please make sure that you are finalizing once your providers get that accomplished.

**Note to Agency leadership: You do not have to wait for ALL providers to submit their credentialing before finalizing. If you are seeing that you are getting close to the deadline, finalize what you have and then you can finalize again once everyone is completed. This ensures that the agency does not get “pulled offline” for a few stragglers, only those that did not complete it by the deadline”.

Any questions please call, text, or shoot me an email.

Here is the schedule for this weeks VS Academy

Greetings Everyone,

Happy EMS week to all. The EMS Sustainability tag is asking one last time to get your valuable feedback. This survey is being used to obtain information in order to create a white paper in order to help fix some of the issues that we are facing in EMS. Please take a moment to complete this survey. This is for ALL providers as well as agency leadership, course sponsors, etc. It takes just a few moments of your time and this is your chance to get your voice heard. I look forward to seeing more responses from our region. It will remain open until memorial day.

SEMSCO Sustainability TAG Survey

This past November, the New York State Emergency Medical Services Council (SEMSCO) created a Sustainability Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to draft a white paper documenting the current challenges and potential solutions in EMS.

To best understand the issues faced by providers and agencies of all types, the TAG developed the below survey, and we need your help distributing it to as many agencies and providers as possible.

When complete, the TAG can then analyze the information from the survey to better present a ‘State of the State’ at SEMSCO this summer.

Participation in this survey is completely voluntary and responses will be recorded anonymously.

We will not collect or share any personally identifiable information. If, however, you would like to provide your contact details there is a separate section to do so.

If you have any questions about the Sustainability TAG or its sub-committees, or this survey, please contact Michael Benenati at LFD478@outlook.com or David Violante at dviolante@afd.org.

Thank you in advance for your time assisting us with this study and thank you for all that you do in EMS!
