This resolution was approved  
MEDICAL ADVISORY SUBCOMMITTEE FEBRUARY 2021 MINUTES  
2020  
MIN-473  
Attachments: February Minutes  
C. Discussion Items  
Protocol Update  
Meier updated the group on the timeline for the update. March we will host meetings with  
Chiefs. April we will be sending out a survey to providers and also offering town hall  
opportunities for input. Beginning in May we will bring a workgroup together to discuss  
updates and additions. For those interested in being a part of the workgroup please  
contact Meier. The ultimate goal is a standard countywide protocol set.  
Radio Reports  
Meier updated that the hospitals and the office will be working on training for EMS and  
hospital staff to work on improved communication to hopefully alleviate the concerns with  
multiple reports being relayed at the same time.  
Benzodiazepines Protocol Update  
Dr. Gussick reported out that the update will allow for Midaz or Loraz. Just allows either  
to be used. No concerns were raised. Meier will send to Ela at the State  
Subcommittee Structure  
Dr. Kronenfeld updated the group that we met with the Chair of the Commission to  
discuss input regarding subcommittee structure. We also had representation from  
County Corp Counsel to assist with expectations based on ordinance. More information  
and ideas will be shared at the Commission meeting on March 24th. All are welcome.  
D. Presentations  
E. Reports to Committee  
Dr. Kim offered up discussion regarding EMS-C and their role in training and education.  
Dr. Kim also offered his assistance with CQI and protocols.  
Anderson gave a brief update on the 10 Delta study, more to come in late April.  
Lohmeier inquired about EMS Week plans. Lehmann is working with the EMS Liaisons  
on a plan. Meier asked the committee to save the date of October 16th for the Survivor  
Breakfast pending ability to host an event this size.  
Anderson briefly shared his annual summary on HPCPR. He plans to present this in  
depth at the EMS Association meeting on March 24th and then distribute with the
