Maine EMS Rules Changes - Preliminary Draft for Provider Comment
From Kelly Roderick
Posted 2/3/09

The Maine EMS Board has released a preliminary draft of proposed Maine EMS Rules changes. As with past Rules changes, the Board is seeking comments and recommendations on the first draft of the document prior to initiating the formal rulemaking process.

The proposed changes are based upon the work done by the Board's Rules Committee; statutory changes requiring rules change; and changes from staff based upon ongoing projects and issues.

Please forward your comments regarding proposed changes to Maine EMS by 5:00 p.m. on February 5, 2009. The Board of EMS will consider comments received as they draft the formal proposed Rules, that will then go out for public hearing and written comments in accordance with the Maine Administrative Procedures Act.

Also attached is a summary document that contains background information and explanations to assist you in your review of the proposed changes.  Rather than cite the particular chapter, section, subsection and paragraph, if you have comments, please refer to each of the changes by line number printed on the left side of the draft rules document.

Item Response Theory Tutorial

Proper Processing of CE Paperwork
Posted 1/20/09
Published in the January I/C News, taken from the KVEMS Pulse

We have noticed an increase in problems surrounding continuing education programs around the state so I wanted to take this opportunity to review the process for applying for CEU’s as well as turning in the roster after the program.

1. Applying for CEU’s – According to Maine EMS Rules, a request form must be received in the regional office prior to the start of the program. Technically, under the rules, requests that are received after the start of the program should go to the MEMS Board for a waiver. We are willing to work with individuals to make sure that attendees received appropriate credit, but if we routinely receive late requests from the same person, we may refer that individual to Maine EMS for consideration of loss of CEU request privileges.

The request must submitted on the approved request form and be accompanied by an outline of the program. Make sure your outline has sufficient detail to support your hours request, both the total and category breakdown.

2. Attendance Roster – The roster must be returned to the regional office that approved the program within seven days of the completion of the program. This is one of the areas that we are experiencing the biggest problems. Students who attend the program have a right to expect that the roster will be returned and forwarded to Maine EMS in a timely fashion. The instructor should review the roster prior to sending it to the Regional Office to make sure it is complete and legible. Maine EMS has requested that we send them the original roster, so please make sure you send the original to the Regional Office.

3. Evaluations/Certificates – Evaluations should be completed by the student and sent in to the Regional Office with the roster. Course sponsors/instructors are responsible for providing a certificate for each attendee. Certificate templates are available from the Regional Office.

[Ed. note: The above reflects the preferences of KVEMS. Other regions may have slightly different requirements, and if you have any questions, you should contact your regional office directly.]

As many of you may have heard, Don Wade has been diagnosed with cancer and is actively being treated at this time. Don has been a major contributor to the EMS system in Region 4. There have been several fundraising activities to help him defray his costs, and the Northeastern Maine EMS Executive Council has voted to participate as well. We have decided to match all donations received for Don in our office to a maximum of $2500.

If you are interested in participating, please mail your donations to Don Wade Fund, C/O NEEMS, 354 Hogan Rd, Bangor Maine, 04401. Please make checks out to Don Wade. All contributions will receive a confirmation, and Don will receive a listing of contributors unless specified otherwise.

The Maine EMS CEH roster has been changed. The new (September 10, 2008) form can be accessed on the MEMS web site's training materials page. it's available as a PDF file that can be printed as is, or as a Word file which allows you to fill in some parts of the roster before printing it.

Remember that you must submit a MEMS Continuing Education Hours Approval Request Form (along with instructor qualifications and an outline of the program) to your regional EMS office seven days prior to date of your program. Within three days of completion of the program, you have to return the original roster (you should keep a copy) to the regional office which approved the program.

KVEMSC Works with Brady Publishing
From the KVEMS web site
Posted 11/3/08

Kennebec Valley EMS recently worked for 2.5 weeks with Brady Publishing and author Dan Limmer on his newest textbook. The project asked for local public safety providers to pose as Emergency Medical Responders (EMR) for the textbook. EMS models were asked to demonstrate various skills (over and over and over again) as the Michal Heron the photographer from New York captured thier movements on film. Those helping with the project found it very interesting and a great way to review thier skills in a unique setting. A medical expert was on hand each day to review the skills being demonstated to be sure they met national standards. We were able to secure assistance from public safety provider from Carrabassett Valley to Newport to Monmouth. We had some 30+ providers and patients ages 6 weeks to 82 years take part in the project all of whom donated thier times and talents.

Most days they found themselves working with other providers they might never had ment and were asked to work as a team. Thanks to NorthStar Ambulance and Delta Ambulance for allowing us to use equipment and vehiles for the shots. Special thanks to the members of NorthStar, Monmouth Rescue, Winthrop Ambulance, Kennebec Sheriff, Jay Police, Fairfield Police, Newport Fire/Rescue, Oakland Rescue, Belgrade Rescue, Waterville Fire, Winslow Fire/Rescue, Augusta Fire, Fairfield Fire/Rescue, Wilton Fire, Litchfield Rescue, Delta Ambulance, and the many family and friends who offered to serve as patients. Without your hard work and dedication to this project we would not have been able to complete the project.

Please enjoy the "outtakes" now showing on [KVEMS's] photo gallery. As a result of your work we have recieved a donation to the Maine EMS Memorial from Brady Publishing for $1500. OUTSTANDING WORK TO ALL! Each of us will never look at a textbook again [I think they meant to say that they would never look at a textbook "the same way" again!/jbv] and we look forward to seeing our hardwork in the new book expected out in the coming year.

"Electrodes, leads & wires: A practical guide to ecg monitoring and recording" provides a great discussion about the placement of electrodes during the obtaining of an EKG.

Who'd have thought that hearing music while performing CPR might help you do it right? This report about a study from the University of Illinois suggests that by using the same beat as the Bee Gees "Staying Alive," a rescuer can maintain an optimal rhythm for CPR.

The Choking Game

I asked Kelly Roderick and John Leighton, as a couple of EMS-C people, if they were aware of "the Choking Game," or "the Pass out Game," and they both said that it's been around for a long time. I found this web site, which says it is "committed to raise awareness, inform communities, and advocate education and support victims of the Choking Game."

In July the I/C News welcomed someone whom we hope will be a regular contributor. Mike Azevedo, Jr., from Carmel Fire and Rescue, has volunteered to do a column targeted at training officers and others who teach stand-alone (as opposed to licensure) courses. You can go directly to Mike's first article here or you can go to the Journal archives on the MEMS web site and click on the July 2008 issue.

Oh, and just as an aside, here's an article from the Bangor Daily News about a training burn in Carmel; the article quotes Mike.

MCEMS Opens Online Bookstore
From the I/C News, published in the July, 2008 issue of the Journal of Maine EMS

MCEMS recently opened an online bookstore to sell their left over EMS textbooks and other EMS books. Becky Flanders, the creator of the bookstore, explains how the online store came into being. She said that the region needs to purchase books for courses before knowing exactly how many books they will sell. As a result, they often end up with many left over books, and very often before they are able to sell the overage, the publishers have come out with a new edition of the books. Because publishers have a time limit on returning books and require a restocking fee, the region was ending up with closets full of outdated materials. Flanders, who herself used to run her own online bookstore, offered to set up a storefront for the old EMS books. She says the store has been quite successful thus far, and that she has sold books to people all the way from Maine to California and most states in between.

Flanders sees this as a great opportunity for all involved. The region, while selling the books for less than original price, is still able to recoup some of its costs. Students anywhere in the country are able to purchase books at “sale” prices. And new but unused books aren’t ending up in the landfill.

Click here to go to the bookstore yourself. And Becky says she would be happy to help any other region to set up a bookstore through half.com.
