Summary
The Commissioners authorized the Department of Emergency Services to enter an agreement with MIEMSS to accept up to $155,500 in Rural Health Transformation Program funding to support a county Whole Blood Program, covering equipment, supplies, training and a program coordinator.
Chief Scott Haas of the Department of Emergency Services presented a Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) Agreement with the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems (MIEMSS) to support a Queen Anne’s County Whole Blood Program. The agreement would provide reimbursement funding of up to $155,500 through federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services RHTP funding administered by the Maryland Department of Health.
The Board unanimously authorized the Director of the Department of Emergency Services to enter into the agreement. The funding will support approved Whole Blood Program expenses including equipment, supplies, training and the salary and benefits for a Program Coordinator responsible for managing and sustaining the program; the grant requires no County matching funds and does not create a long-term county financial obligation.
