The Protocols Committee develops, reviews, revises, and distributes all Marquette County EMS protocols. This committee also oversees the Quality Assurance activities, including run sheet reviews and the final statistics gained from these reviews. All agencies are required to submit copies of their Patient Run Sheets to the Medical Control Authority for review. The Protocols Committee is undergoing an extensive review of all current protocols, and incorporating a comparison with the recently released State Model Protocols, assuring that Marquette County is using the most proactive industry-standards available in regards to pre-hospital patient care. Communications Committee: The Communications Committee addresses all interagency communication issues, including the MedCom requirements. This committee reviews the purchase of all radios, pagers, and hospital communication systems. This committee also has representation on the Marquette County Central Dispatch Policy Board by Mike Zorza, Dan Wolf, and Alyson Sundberg. Automated External Defibrillation Committee: The AED Committee was established to review the training, purchasing, and use of AED’s in Marquette County to assure the consistency and quality of the program. This committee develops, reviews, and approves all AED-related programs and protocols in the county. The AED Committee has been instrumental in placing these life-saving units throughout the county with licensed EMS agencies. They also offered their assistance to the recent Save-A-Life Project, which was able to place over 50 AED units in police and fire units in Marquette County. Pharmacy Committee: The Pharmacy Committee is responsible for any medications provided by licensed EMS agencies in Marquette County. The committee approves the use, security, and documentation of all Advanced Life Support (ALS) medications that are carried, as well as the Epi-Pen and Albuterol programs for non-ALS services that are currently running under Special Study in Marquette County. Both hospital pharmacies from Bell Memorial and Marquette General Hospital are consulted regularly when pharmaceutical issues arise. Training Committee: The Training Committee assesses the educational needs of the EMS providers in the county, including initial and ongoing training. This committee was previously responsible for approving all EMS courses conducted within the county, to assure consistent and quality training, however the updated MDCIS On-Site Review process has taken over this role. Notification of training programs must be submitted to the Marquette County EMS Medical Control Authority as required by the Michigan Department of Consumer and Industry Services Bureau of Health Systems – EMS Educational Programs. This allows the Medical Control Authority to assure that adequate and effective training is available in the region. This committee will still be required to assure training is available for EMS providers in the region, as well as ongoing education availability. Operations and Interagency Relations Committee: This committee addresses all issues that arise between EMS life support agencies and/or the participating hospitals that have been unresolved at the EMS service/agency level. The committee meets on an as-needed basis to review any concerns raised in Marquette County.
