County discusses EMR course demand and ventilator maintenance costs
Summary
Staff reported talks with WSU Tech about offering a free EMR class for rural responders and recommended preventive-maintenance work on three of four ventilators (PM cost cited at $655 each; a 2024 repair once cost $4,518).
A county presenter said WSU Tech received a Patterson Foundation grant to offer free rural classes and that the county is in talks to host a short emergency medical responder (EMR) course for up to six participants. He said EMRs can perform basic response tasks in rural settings without the additional approvals required for EMTs, making EMR training useful when staffing is thin.
The presenter also described preventive-maintenance options for the county's ventilators. He said a PM would cost $655 per unit (three units recommended now) and noted a 2024 ventilator repair had cost $4,518, which factors into decisions about contracts and warranties.
