���III�III�III fir;
A = the actions taken for the selected topic were acceptable or appropriate according to industry
standards, statewide protocols or service policies.
u = the item was performed but should be reviewed for circumstances or could be improved.
11 = the actions taken for an item were outside of industry standards, statewide protocols or
service protocols. This would include omission of an action that should have occurred.
RFT = there is not enough information on the run form to make a determination.
N/A = the item is not applicable.
37. Response time: (the amount of time from dispatch to the ambulance signing on)
EMT on duty in the station: A = <1 minute
I = >1 minute but < 3 minutes
11 = >3 minutes
EMT on duty not in the station: A = <8 minutes
_ >8 minutes but <12 minutes
11 = >12 minutes
EMTs not on duty in the station: A = <10 minutes
I = > 10 minutes but <14 minutes
11 = >14 minutes
38. Scene time: (the amount of time the ambulance is on -scene– not EMTs)
Trauma –
A = <5 minutes
I = >5 minutes but <10 minutes, without extenuating circumstances
11 _ >I 0 minutes, without extenuating circumstances.
Extenuating circumstances may he anything from a difficult extrication to an uncooperative
patient but must he documented.
Medical
A = <15 minutes
(<10 minutes, if only BLS or ALS -I is present)
_ > 15 minutes but <25 minutes, without extenuating circumstances
(>10 minutes but <20 minutes, if only BLS or AL S-1 is present)
11 = > 25 minutes
(>20 minutes, if only BLS or ALS -I is present)
Rate depends on whether or not paramedic level care was delivered on scene. Extenuating
circumstances are the same as for trauma.
39. Dispatch of BLS/ALS:
A = based on the "Reason for Call" the call was BLS and dispatched as BLS or was ALS and
dispatched as ALS, or as soon as sufficient information was obtained ALS was requested or
cancelled appropriately.
u = AL S was requested when the call did not fit AL S dispatch criteria or was dispatched later than
it should have been.
11 = ALS should have been dispatched based on ALS dispatch criteria but was not.
40. Utilization of BLS/ALS: Based on who performed the skills listed in the Narrative, Vital Signs box, and
Medications and Treatment box.
A = appropriate division of tasks, including driving, based on EMT level and the patients
condition (For example if there was a B, an I and a P in the back of the ambulance on an ALS
run, the B is doing vitals, the I the IV and the P the meds).
u = tasks are not divided evenly but care is delivered appropriately according to EMT level.
I = care is not delivered appropriately according to EMT level (Le. A medic drives with only a
basic in back on an ALS call).
41. Assessment:
A = the scene and the patient were assessed promptly, thoroughly and appropriately. The
documented vitals and other findings support the diagnosis (or at BLS level support the
treatment).
u = the assessment was delayed or incomplete without extenuating circumstances.
l = an assessment was not performed or a BLS assessment was performed when ALS was
present and an ALS assessment should have been performed.
42. Trauma Team Activation:
A = the Trauma Team was activated appropriately and timely.
u = the Trauma Team was activated later than it should have been or was activated when the call
did not fit the criteria for activation.
I = the Trauma Team was not activated when the call fit the criteria for activation.
43. Treatment/Procedures:
A = the treatment/procedures were complete, performed correctly and appropriately based on the
patients condition, BFR Protocols and EMT level. The appropriate medications were given in
the appropriate dose. Medical Control orders were followed.
u = treatment/procedures were provided that were not according to BFR protocols but did not
harm the patient (i.e. collared and boarded a patient that did not meet the criteria for c -spine
immobilization). Minor treatment was omitted that should have been provided but the
omission would be unlikely to harm the patient.
I = treatment/procedures/medications were provided that were not according to BFR protocols
and could have harmed the patient or were omitted when they should have been provided and
the omission could have harmed the patient. Even if the patient was not actually harmed, an
incident that meets this criteria should still be marked as "U".
44. Policy Adherence:
A = service and Region policies that would apply to the run were adhered to.
u = minor policies were not followed but the omission would be unlikely to harm the patient or be
detrimental to the service.
I = service or Region policies that should have been follow were not and the omission could have
harmed the patient or have been detrimental to the service.
45. Overall Documentation:
A = the overall documentation was sufficient to become an reliable part of the patient's medical
record and correctly indicates information and language needed for billing purposes.
u = the overall documentation should be reviewed for circumstances or improved.
I = the overall documentation is not complete enough to become a reliable part of the patient's
medical record.
46. Overall Performance:
A = the overall performance of EMS was consistent with industry standards, Statewide protocols,
Region V and service policies.
u = the overall performance should be reviewed for circumstances or could be improved.
I = the overall performance was not consistent with industry standards, Statewide protocols,
Region V and service policies.
47. Other: Used to assess the performance of EMS as the result of any unusual occurrences.
48. Other: Used to assess the performance of EMS as the result of any unusual occurrences.
49. Comments: Clarify any items that received an I or a l rating. Attach extra sheets if necessary.
