At the meeting of the Southwest Virginia Medical Direction Committee, the issue of incidents between EMS provider and hospital staff related to Hospital Diversion was discussed.  Local facilities have also expressed the desire to ensure positive working relationships with EMS agencies.  The Council has developed a quick reporting tool to help us address issues as they arise.  Upon submission, council staff will begin working to address and resolve these issues.  Likewise, we are working to implement a debriefing process to work through such incidents expeditiously to ensure good collaboration.  The form can be addressed by clicking this link or from the Quick Menu at www.southwest.vaems.org.
