NL( MWITk01✓Mc.k‘m uMitel 2018-3847 HL0050 Memorandum TO: Steve Moreno, Chair Board of County Commissioners FROM: Mark E. Wallace, MD, MPH Executive Director Department of Public Health & Environment DATE: November 27, 2018 SUBJECT: 2019 Applications for Ambulance Service Licenses Enclosed for the Board's review are eleven applications for ambulance service licenses pursuant to the Weld County Code Chapter 7, Emergency Medical Services, from the ambulance service providers listed below. The Weld County Emergency Medical Trauma Service (EMTS) Council reviewed the application for each ambulance service provider on November 15, 2018, and approved all 11 applications. Changes from last year include adding American Medical Response of Colorado as a new ambulance service and removing Colorado Motocross Medics because they have stopped operating in Weld County. Based on the delegated responsibility of the Department, we have reviewed the applications and have deemed all ambulance services listed below to have met all applicable licensure application requirements found in Chapter 7. As such, I am recommending the following ambulance service providers for licensure: TIER I Frederick -Firestone Fire Protection District 8426 Kosmerl Place Frederick, Colorado Front Range Fire Rescue 101 South Irene Avenue Milliken, Colorado Mountain View Fire Protection District 3561 Stagecoach Road, Unit 200 Longmont, Colorado Banner Health/Northern Colorado Medical Center Paramedic Service 1801 - 16th Street Greeley, Colorado TIER I — Cont'd Poudre Valley EMS 3509 South Mason Fort Collins, Colorado Southeast Weld Fire Protection District 65 East Gandy Avenue Keenesburg, Colorado Thompson Valley EMS 4480 Clydesdale Parkway Loveland, Colorado Windsor Severance Fire Protection District 100 North 7th Street Windsor, Colorado TIER I — Cont'd Platte Valley Ambulance Service EMS 1600 Prairie Center Parkway Brighton, Colorado TIER II American Medical Response of Colorado 3800 Pearl Street Boulder, Colorado TIER III *Stadium Medical 695 Canosa Court Denver, Colorado 2018-3847 l a/3 HLOOZO O DDJDJr2JDJEJE2J WELD COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT License to Operate Ambulance Service TIER III STADIUM MEDICAL INC.

Name of Owner IS LICENSED UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2019, TO OPERATE AN AMBULANCE SERVICE IN WELD COUNTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH EXISTING WELD COUNTY RULES AND REGULATIONS. DEC 0 3 2018 CHAIR. BOARD OF WELD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DATE NOT TRANSFERRABLE / POST IN A CONSPICUOUS PLACE Tier III: Licensure authorizing for Standby Service, as defined in Section 7-1-30 of the Weld County Code. O O O Recommendation of the Weld County Emergency Medical/Trauma Service Council for: Stadium Medical Inc. As required in Section 7-2-100.8.5., the EMTS Council should review the application to assess as to whether the ambulance service will contribute to an efficient, effective, and coordinated emergency medical response to residents of the County? Please include any findings related to response time, coordination with other ambulance services, location, service area, etc. that is the basis for the Council's recommendation: Findings We have no interaction with this service, and no issues with their service. A primary recent concern has been with communication, specifically with the AHJ when stand by medical services are being provided. Stadium Medical management should work to improve communications with fire and EMS agencies in the area they will be providing standby services. The question on transporting patients has also been discussed related to Tier III license holders transporting patients. Standby EMS services (Tier III) must ensure that the event coverage is not compromised to do a transport to the hospital. Cooperation with the AHJs is required. Approval is recommended as long as Stadium Medical will work to improve communications with AHJs and ensure effective and efficient stand by coverage. Stadium Medical continues has had incidents of communicating with the 911 providers in the areas they provide standby services. As long as these have been discussed and have satisfactory resolution there are no other issues that I am aware of. No interaction with Stadium Medical, have no issues Stadium Medical has provided standby services within FRFR's response area. Coordination has improved over this past year. Stadium personnel are receptive and pleasant to work with on scene. Continued cooperation is necessary to evolve the relationship with each Fire District. Stadium Medical provides standby coverage for events in Weld County. There has been some confusion during some to the events pertaining to transporting patients from the event to a local hospital. Communication with the Authority Having Jurisdiction where the event is held would improve the response by 911 resources when they are needed. Stadium should contact the Authority Having Jurisdiction prior to the event to communicate the resources available at the standby and transport capabilities to include continued coverage at the event if Stadium transports patients from the event. Their map of their service area is broader than just event based in Greeley as stated. Stand by only, we need to make sure this is clear to the Board and the communication needed with other agencies. Are they working in Greeley only? Need more info Recommended Level of Service: Tier 1 Tier 2 Page 1 of 2 Recommended Service Area: The EMTS Council recommends the service area to be better defined. The application notes Greeley and no other areas. We suggested for Stadium to amend their application to read all of Weld County and submit this change to the WCDPHE. Other EMTS Council recommendations or comments: The EMTS Council finds that Stadium Medical's application meets all requirements and believe that their service deliver meets efficient, effective and coordinated service delivery. Additionally, the Council made them aware of the proposed code changes to help clear up confusion between the two codes.
