RECOMMENDATION(S):

INTRODUCE Ordinance No. 2019-24 amending the County Ordinance Code to exclude from the merit system the new classification of Fire District Medical Director - Exempt, WAIVE READING and FIX September 17, 2019, for adoption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no cost associated with this action.  
  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is no approved, the District will not have full time dedicated internal physician oversight of its Emergency Ambulance Services Contract and health related programs.






BACKGROUND:

The terms and conditions of the Emergency Ambulance Services Contract between the Contra Costa County Emergency Medical Services Agency (CCCEMSA) and the District require that the Contractor (District) retain a California licensed physician as its chief medical adviser to enforce internal standards of excellence in medical care and serve as a liaison between the District, CCCEMSA, and AMR.  
  
The District proposes establishing a full time, permanent Fire District Medical Director-Exempt classification to act as the chief medical advisor for the Emergency Ambulance Services Contract. In addition, the position will have broader responsibilities to oversee District activities relating to the quality of medical care and services administered. This includes fire-based first responder EMS, Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS), Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD), and other health related District programs. The responsibilities of this position are appropriate for the Exempt from the Merit System designation.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Approximately 10% of emergency medical service responses involve children under the age of 15.
