Please click here for a copy of the new 2006 Sandoval County Protocols. All departments must create a sign off sheet that each EMS member has read and understands the new protocols. This is to be retained in the department or at the Fire Marshall's office. To utilize the new scope of practice, you must have taken a State refresher and you must be signed off by the medical director or his designee. Forward any comments or concerns to me regarding updates or problems.

Print the EMS Liability Release in English or Spanish. Print the Quality Assurance Criteria. Print the mandatory PHI documents in English and Spanish, to be given out to all patient and non-patients.

Please... if you have questions, concerns or QIs, forward them by email to Jess with a cc to me. This is the best way to progress EMS in Sandoval County.

The new source for web CEs is EMCert.com. You can get CEs for $4 per unit. There are also bundles: 10 units for $30, 24 units for $60, 40 units for $80, or an unlimited bundle. Dana is the contact person at 1-877-367-4376 if you have questions. I have done some of the cases and it appears to be a good source for CEs. At the current time only 10 CEs per year are valid in NM for remote learning. This is consistent with the National Registry paramedic level stipulation of 10 units for remote or distant learning.
