Services Zones C and D.
. II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:

On June 61 1995, the Board of Supervisors approved Hospital
Agreement #23-077-5 with Mt. Diablo Hospital District for the period
from June 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996, for Base Hospital Services.
Base Hospitals provide on-line and retrospective medical direction
and control to paramedic units and are required as a part of an EMS
system providing Advanced Life Support. Base Hospitals provide
medical direction without regard to patient destination, and
therefore, provide services for patients who may be transported to
facilities other than Mt. Diablo Medical Center. Currently, two
Base Hospitals serve the four County-designated Base Hospital Zones:
John Muir Medical Center serves Zone A (West County) and Zone B
(South County) ; and Mt. Diablo Medical Center serves Zone C (North
County) and Zone D (East County) .
Approval of Hospital Agreement. #23-077-6 will allow Mt. Diablo
Medical Center to continue as the designated Base Hospital for Zones
C and D through Fiscal Year 1996-97 .
