0700 hours - Arrival at work
Happy EMS Week! Ready today. Preparing for tomorrow. The theme for this year’s #EMSWeek is perhaps the most appropriate ever. #EMSstrong It's a great day to recognize all the hard work all of our team members do for our community!
0715 hours - Health Screening
Part of the new normal - a Fit for Duty health screening on our way into work - either in person or on our @VivifyHealth app. Every employee, for every shift does a screening to make sure they can safely provide care to the community.
0830 hours - Executive Briefing
Today’s executive briefing on @zoom_us (another part of the new normal) included some #COVID19 updates, but focused on recognizing our field providers and administrative staff during EMS Week!
0900 hours - Triage Line ✅-in

1000 hours - AARG
Nerd alert 🤓 data is king at @REMSAHealth . Just wrapped up AARG - After Action Review Group. Every day, types of calls, call/responses/transport volume & deployment models are reviewed with the help of   @FWDataExperts . Making sure we are #AlwaysReady.

1115 hours - Public Education
Social distancing is critical but we also miss seeing community members in the education building for classes and recertifications. We are working on ways to provide education - at a safe distance; stay tuned.
1200 - EMS Week in a pandemic
#EMSWeek is usually full of contests, awards, pet therapy dogs & yoga. This year, @REMSAHealth scaled back limiting gatherings & events. Stay in the EMS Week spirit though with this retro replay of last year’s ClinComp 2019.
1230 hrs - EMS Week lunch
#TacoTuesday Having lunch with Paramedics, EMTs, Medical Dispatchers, Logistics Technicians, Administrative staff, Flight Paramedics, & Mechanics. The whole @REMSAHealth crew keeps mobile healthcare safe and available in @washoecounty. #AlwaysReady

Our Medical Directors put the “M” in EMS! Working on the agenda for the medical leadership meeting tomorrow. Using performance indicators & case reviews to guide protocols to support the clinically excellent, compassionate care our crews provide. #EMSDocs

Our crews are resilient but they aren’t immune. May is #MentalHealthMonth which matters for everyone and especially for health care providers lately. PTSD, anxiety, depression, suicide are real. @REMSAHealth Peer Support offers 24/7 resources and assistance.
