Northwest Ohio EMS

Consortium

Dedicated to Quality Prehospital Care

The Northwest Ohio EMS Consortium brings together EMS resources from a number of different agencies in the Northwest portion of Ohio. The consortium consists of multiple EMS medical directors from Fulton County Medical Center, Mercy Defiance Medical Center, Mercy St Charles Medical Center and faculty with the emergency medicine residency program affiliated with Mercy St Vincent Medical Center and Premier Physician Services. This partnership allows the EMS medical directors to collaborate and share resources. It also allows each service to which we provide medical direction to benefit from the collective expertise of each EMS faculty member.

The Consortium currently provides an on-line EMS medical control 24-hours a day to assist with complicated on-line medical direction issues as well as assisting crews in obtaining follow-up on interesting cases.

EMS services anywhere in Northwest Ohio may contract with the consortium to have the consortium serve as their full-time medical director, or may choose to have the consortium provide specific functions such as on-line medical direction, assistance with quality assurance, assistance with special skill development, or short-term medical direction coverage when the regular medical director is unavailable. Additional services offered include full access to consortium developed protocols, training, 24 hour on-line medical control and quality assurance programs The purpose of this website is to provide both the EMS crew members and surrounding hospitals, affiliated with NWO EMS, a set of “GUIDELINES” for the management, treatment, and transport of patients with a variety of illnesses and injuries.  Multiple departments and agencies in the rural and urban environment are members of the NWO EMS consortium.

Mercy EMS Division is looking for Paramedics and EMT's for PRN positions in Education and Event Medicine.

Good Afternoon Everyone,

               As you all have seen in the news over the last week or so, there has been extensive devastation due to the hurricane and as a result, the Baxter IV Solution plant has suffered some damage. Attached you will find the official press release from Baxter followed by our Medical Director recommendations for IV solution usage for the next few months while people are recovering from this tragedy. Until we fully understand the impact, please do not throw away any expired fluids or flushes.  Initial recommendations, investigate increasing Zofran ODT PAR on the trucks and stock bottled water and oral rehydration solution.  Identify meds that are usually given IV but can also be given IM, IN, or orally (may need added to drug license if not there already).  Everyone may need to increase PAR of syringes and needles so that we can perform these alternate routes for medication deliveries. If you have questions, please do to hesitate to have your command staff reach out to NWOEMS to present questions and look for future updates via email and on the NWOEMS website.
