Proposed Motion:
Move City Council
pass and adopt
Resolution No. 5489 renewing an Agreement between the City of Chandler and Dignity Health to provide administrative medical direction from a base hospital for Chandler Fire Department (CFD) Certified Emergency Paramedics as required by Arizona law.
Background:
By Arizona law, all Certified Emergency Paramedics must work under the license of a physician, through Administrative Medical Direction, which is provided as a component of a Base Station Agreement with a hospital. Administrative Medical Direction also allows paramedics in the field to contact an emergency physician for unique medical orders or questions regarding patient care. To continue providing Emergency Medical Services in the City of Chandler, Chandler Fire Department needs to comply with Arizona State Statute R9-25-201 by securing an agreement for Administrative Medical Direction from an Emergency Base Station. This agreement is a renewal of an agreement CFD and Dignity Health have held for over a decade. By renewing the Emergency Base Station Agreement, CFD will meet state requirements and continue to provide life-saving measures to the citizens of Chandler.
The term of the agreement is for three years and commences July 1, 2021.
