( BACKGROUND
The Department of Fire, Rescue and Inspection Services is upgrading
its medical emergency call taking and dispatching procedures to meet
current nationally recommended minimum standards for Emergency
_} Y
=, Medical Dispatching Centers. This will be accomplished by providing
training for all Fire Department Communications Operators and their
Supervisors in the reception and management of requests for emergency
medical assistance. The training being provided by Medical Priority
Consultants will include systematized caller interrogation,
} systematized pre arrival instructions, and the prioritizing of
dispatch needs and response modes.
1 The practice and standardization of Emergency Medical Assistance call
handling has become more complex over the past few years. The
dispensing of this service has evolved to the point where the
citizens of the community are expecting and should be delivered the
best- service the City of Miami E 9-1-1 operators are capable of
delivering. The functions of receiving and processing calls for
y emergency - medical assistance, determining appropriate response
levels, coordinating appropriate and available resources, and
providing Information and Pre -Arrival instructions are additional
duties which the Emergency Medical Dispatch Operator is expected to
deliver to the citizens.
