As we have discussed recently, we have planned a Virtual Vital Signs Educator Day for June 11, 2021. Since the in person Vital Signs will be a little different this year, as we are not going to be able to hold as many sessions as in the past, we have decided to have 2 virtual conferences. The first one is the Educator Day on June 11 and I am happy to say that we have some of the best educators with us for June 11.

The second virtual conference will be on June 18 and I will be opening registration for that conference in the next week or so.

There is a small fee of $49 to attend and your colleagues are able to register for the June 11 event now.

To register, please visit our website at: www.vitalsignsconference.com

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Safe Pediatric Ground Ambulance Transport Project

As part of a quality improvement initiative, the Trauma Department at the John R. Oishei Children’s Hospital (OCH) is placing a major focus on safe pediatric transport to the hospital. The overall goal of this initiative is to improve patient care by increasing the number of pediatric patients who are transported in the to the hospital in ground ambulances using child-appropriate restraints.

OCH is kindly requesting EMS providers to complete an anonymous survey to better understand the challenges that EMS professionals face when transporting pediatric patients to the hospital and the steps that could be taken to help address these challenges.
