GETTING CLEARED TO PRACTICE
|
Before new providers are cleared to Practice in the TJEMS Region, certain requirements must be met. The Prehospital Coordinators have developed a standard set of guidelines which are to be followed for release to practice as an Advanced Life Support provider. The release process provides for a point system defining ALS level skills and is approved by the OMD Committee.

SHOCK TRAUMA RELEASE POINTS
|
The "ALS Preceptor Evaluation Form" is the guideline for awarding points. Preceptors should write comments as applicable.
Not every area will have points awarded on every call. Preceptor should write NA when points are not awarded.
The Jr. Shock-Trauma technician should be present when the preceptor fills out the evaluation form. This will allow the call to be critiqued and learning aximized. Once the evaluation tool is complete, the Jr. ST will keep it, a copy of the call sheet and airway forms when applicable.
All forms should be turned in to one of the Prehospital Coordinators. If airway points are the only missing points, contact the Prehospital Coordinators to discuss your release.
Scene Management 25 points
Patient Assessment 25 points
Airway Maintenance* 9 points
Circulation 15 points
Medications** 15 points
Total 89 points
*Airway points should only be awarded when the airway management is done such as suctioning, O.P/N.P./Combitube/E.T. insertion. Placing the patient on oxygen does not earn points.
**At least two medications must be other than nitroglycerine, ASA or Albuterol.
