EMS director flags staffing needs, billing RFPs; committee approves sole‑source intraosseous device
Summary
EMS Director Jim Lee said RFPs for billing services and billing software were released and that support-staffing gaps remain; the committee approved a sole‑source declaration for an intraosseous vascular access system and advised sending a tuition-assistance guideline amendment to Finance for language revision.
EMS Director Jim Lee told the committee that adequate support staff is essential for EMS operations and that he is not always present on the complex when issues arise. He reported that requests for proposals (RFPs) for billing services and billing software have been released, and he reminded the committee of ongoing efforts to secure reliable billing operations.
On procurement, the committee approved a sole-source declaration for an EMS intraosseous vascular access system. Mr. Lee also presented a proposed modification to the tuition assistance program guidelines for paramedic education; after consultation with the county Audit Department committee members recommended revising the language and forwarding the resolution through the Finance Committee rather than proceeding via Rule 14.
