B. Consideration of Minutes  
MEDICAL ADVISORY SUBCOMMITTEE OCTOBER 2021 MINUTES  
2021  
MIN-437  
Attachments: October Minutes  
The minutes were approved.  
C. Discussion Items  
RFP for Medical Advisors  
Starting in 2022, Dane County EMS will move from a contract for a single Medical  
Director to 3 Medical Advisors. The RFP will go to bid in early December. The hope is to  
get medical advisors that represent three different hospitals. Instead of an hourly pay,  
each advisor will get a lump sum payment each year. This will be effective at the  
beginning of 2022.  
Infection Control Handbook Covid Addition  
Committee discussed adding a new page to the Infection Control Handbook for Covid-19.  
The concern was that new developments are still being made regarding the virus and that  
the information may become outdated quickly. Lohmeier confirms there is a disclaimer in  
the book that says new information regarding infectious diseases is constantly changing  
and to refer to local Public Health guidelines for the most up to date information. It was  
agreed that updating the Infection Control Handbook at the same time as the protocols  
would be pertinent.  
PulsePoint Update  
The Cardiac Arrest Summit awarded Dr. Mancera, Dr. Kronenfeld, and Eric Anderson the  
40 Under 40 Award for outstanding work in cardiac arrest survival. Dane County EMS and  
the PulsePoint group agreed to send them and up to two others to the Cardiac Arrest  
Summit in December using PulsePoint funds.  
HPCPR Training  
Dane County EMS and MEP hosted a high performance CPR Train the Trainer session  
on November 2nd that had a small group of members from across the county in  
attendance. The training program was adapted to fit in a 4 hour training session rather  
than an 8-hour all day timeline. These trainings will continue to be offered going forward,  
and training resources are available from the DCEMS office for agencies to use.  
Dane County EMS Office Update  
The new EM Specialist position is in the process of being hired. They will take on some  
of Carrie Meier's old duties related to EMS, specifically managing PulsePoint and public  
outreach. The new R30 has gotten the lift and should be on it's way to Wisconsin soon.
