Emergency Medical Dispatch Training and Equipment (County Service Area EM-1 "Measure H")
SPECIFIC REQUESTIS?OR RECOMMENDATIONS)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize reimbursement not to exceed the following amounts for expenditures incurred in implementing the
Medical Priority Emergency Medical Dispatch program, upon approval of the Health Services Director or his
designee (Art Lathrop).
Contra Costa Fire Protection District $60,233
City of Richmond $27,938
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for these expenditures has been budgeted under CSA EM-1 (Measure H), There is no General Fund

BACKGROUND:
A key component of an emergency medical service system is the answering of medical 9-1-1 calls and dispatching
appropriate resources. In Contra Costa County designated fire/medical dispatch centers answer emergency
medical calls, determine the nature and location of the emergency, and send the appropriate first responder and
ambulance resources. One priority set forth in the Service Plan for County Service Area EM-1 (Nleasllre H) was
the establishment of emergency medical dispatching programs meeting within the County's designated fire/medical
dispatch centers. Medical Priority Consultants, under Dr. Jeff Clausen, has developed an efnei gency medical
dispatch system which is recognized nationally as the preeminent product in this field and which meets the State
EMS Authority's "Guidelines for Medical Dispatching." On April 12, 1994, the Beard Of Supervisors authorized
CSA EM-1 funding to reimburse San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District for 'piloting the Medical Priority
Emergency Medical Dispatch program. Following the successful implementation of that program in San'Ramon
Valley, Contra Costa County Fire and richmond have elected to implement the Medical Priority system within
their dispatch centers.
