The 2013 TJEMS protocols have been placed back online.  The changes to the protocols are the CATEGORIES AND NAMES of the protocols.  The names have been changed in order to be compliant with the upgrading of VPHIB that will take place sometime soon by the Virginia Office of EMS.  Please take a close look at where to find the protocols in the new categories and please note that the name of the majority of the protocols are different than previous names.  The “Prolapsed Cord” protocol has been combined with “OB/GYN - Gynecological Emergencies”.  The protocol link on the website allows for you to click on the name of the protocol, in the table of contents, in which you would like to see and will take you right to that protocol.  Please feel free to email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) if you have any questions.

Please join UVA Pegasus for their Critical Response 2013.

Thomas Jefferson EMS Council now has an App for the iPhone. Please search in the app store for “TJEMS app” for download. The app is continuing to be constructed and the protocols will be updated shortly to the 2013 Protocols.  An Android App is in the construction process and will be available soon.

There will be a make-up skill drill Thursday May 16 starting at 1830.  Anyone interested, please call the office and have Sheri put your name on the list. Everyone can show up at 1830 (no time slots needed).

This is a great opportunity for those interested in STEMI care in the Commonwealth of Virginia.  A lot of information on how all the regions are working on STEMI care.
