Cornell University System Goals Shared Vision/ Manage Expectations Engage/ Develop/ Recruit Acute Demand Optimize Resources Increase the number of volunteers in Tompkins County Maximize the effectiveness of current resources Address daytime shortages immediately Make the EMS system reliable for the patient Provide a Rescue Squad First Responder Volunteer initially, every time Reduce stress on the emergency room and ambulances Increase retention of volunteers in Tompkins County Manage expectations in policy for the public Create a shared understanding of procedure for local government Loosen regulatory constraints Make the EMS system cost effective Decrease non- emergency calls Make the patient happy with care from initial assessment to arrival at the hospital 7
Cornell University System Requirements Activation/ Response First Response Life Saving Care Transportation Respond with lowest tiered asset Follow all regional, state, federal laws Transport to hospital, if necessary Receive call from patient Minimize transportation time to hospital Associate response code Assess for further care Arrive at patient quickly Communicate continuously Retain mass casualty incident plan Patient-care transfer at hospital Identify assets available Use pre-existing transportation network Maximize care to patient population Send First Responder Hospital treats patient Retain redundant response capacity Provide update to patient if delayed Understand effect of hazardous weather on operations Retain mutual aid agreement Provide appropriate response for non- emergency calls 8
