MEDICAL DIRECTOR ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES

MMC Board Room

February 24, 2005

 

 

Present:  Dr. John Schulz, Gary Victorson, Jan Victorson, Merrilee Carlson, Tam Hofman, Ron Brendalen, Chuck Elton, Rob Puls and Dorothy Tank.

 

Gary Victorson, Chair, called the meeting to order at 6:37 PM. 

 

Meeting Minutes:  Merrilee Carlson made the motion to accept the last meeting minutes of January 20, 2005; seconded by Tam Hofman.  Motion carried.

 

SOG Format:  Dr. Schulz presented a draft of three protocols, which he arranged in an algorithm format for the EMT Basic SOG’s.  This change in SOG format included a numerical classification.  For example: Respiratory symptoms would be a 300 series -- 301 Respiratory Arrest, 302 Respiratory Distress, 303 Anaphylaxis.  Refer to the draft handouts of the three protocols. 

 

The potential change in format would be compatible with the Ashland Fire Department Paramedic Protocols, which are also being reviewed and modified.

 

Consensus of the meeting was to reformat the current SOG’s into an algorithm.  There is ongoing debate as to whether to combine or keep separate the Adult and Pediatric SOG’s. 

 

Decision was made to hold the next MDAC Meeting independent from the EMS Council Meeting to allow more time to being working on the SOG format change over. 

 

Motion to adjourn meeting at 7:26 PM made by Chuck Elton, seconded by Merrilee Carlson.

 

The next MDAC meeting is scheduled for Thursday, March 10, 2005 at 6:30 pm at MMC.
