Emergency Medical Dispatch. Emergency medical dispatch (EMD) is a recognized structured system used to determine the nature and severity of a medical problem, prioritize it so the appropriate level of Emergency Medical Services is dispatched safely, and provides the caller with instructions on how to assist the patient until emergency medical services arrive. The system also allows dispatchers, based on a set of protocol and answers obtained from the caller, to triage emergency calls for service and dispatch a tiered level of emergency response. This reduces the risk to firefighters when responding to emergencies and also keeps units available for more urgent calls for service. Dispatchers are the primary link between the public, who are in need of emergency medical care, and firefighters/ambulance personnel who can provide the required level of medical care. Dispatchers who utilize emergency medical dispatch protocols can assist with the immediate implementation of CPR, airway maintenance, hemorrhage control, emergency birthing instructions for women in labor, c-spine precautions, treatments for heat related or cold related emergencies, and auto injectors (Epi-pens) for allergic reactions. Not all Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP) provide this service. In Riverside County only the cities of Riverside and Corona provide this service. In 2012, the Riverside County Fire Department Emergency Command Center will begin instituting several of the protocols associated with EMD. Riverside County will then look at utilizing EMD as a way to triage calls for service in order to dispatch the appropriate level of medical care, allowing fire apparatus to remain ready for emergency calls that may be more serious in nature. This system may also be used for coordinating a tiered level of response to fires.

Emergency Medical Dispatch. Emergency Medical Dispatch Certification is a required qualification for Dispatchers and Dispatch Coordinators. All Dispatchers and Dispatch Coordinators must obtain the Emergency Medical Dispatch Certification within six (6) months from date of hire. Employees must be re-certified every two (2) years. At the beginning of each fiscal year, employees who obtain and maintain a valid EMD certification shall be paid an annual stipend in the amount of five hundred dollars ($500), payable in one lump sum beginning the second payday after July 1, 2001. When an employee obtains a certification before the July date, he/she shall be paid a pro-rated stipend for the remainder of the fiscal year. Employees shall provide proof to the City of obtaining an active license. The City shall continue to provide or pay for all training required, and specific to, obtaining and maintaining Emergency Medical Dispatch certification. The EMD stipend shall not be considered as part of the base pay rate and shall not be considered in computing overtime pay, nor shall it be considered for purposes of calculating final average compensation for pension. Employees who terminate employment for any reason, other than retirement, shall return an pro-rated amount of the prepaid stipend to the City by having such amount deducted from the final pay. The pro- rated amount shall be calculated to the nearest full month.
