EMS Grant Application
10. Justification Summarv, Attachment Page I of 3
A. ITEM 1 (Universal Patient Simulator)
Monroe County Fire Rescue has been in state of constant development and change since the County started assuming the
responsibility of pre hospital patient care and transportation from the myriad of volunteer ambulance providers, From our
initial organization up to our most recent realignment: (which has brought all the EMS and Fire personnel into one
department with common goals and objectives); the "EMS" division has had a great turnover in staff and personnel. This
has made it difficult, if not impossible, to keep a consistent level of excellence in our training program. As a consequence.
our training mannequins and training aids are of many different brands, ages and states of repair. It is almost impossible to
obtain parts or service for them. and it is certainly discouraging to try to teach a class or hold a training session using such
equipment. Many times demonstrations must be tailored to the quirks of the training aid, rather than focusing on the skill
being taught or reviewed. Because of the various states of repair of some of the units, students must sometimes deal with
unrealistic situations, which would seem to be contrary to the purpose of training,
ITEM 2 (MCS 200 UHF Radios)
The current EMS radios in the Monroe County Fire Rescue vehicles were purchased in 1988. they are starting to break
down and Motorola no longer supports this radio.
ITEM 3 (Mobile Computer Systems)
We currently have no electronic method of dispatching units. Method of obtaining accurate times for calls to service or
Sheriff Dept. incident report numbers must be done upon completion of call by telephone resulting in delays and
interruption to dispatchers.
B. ITEM 1 (Universal Patient Simulator)
Our training program has progressed by leaps and bounds recently, and we have entered into agreements with the
University of Miami SIMLAB, and MD's recognized for excellence and contributions to the field of EMS, When these
organizations or individuals teach classes, however, they still use our training aids. Many times a "Hands on" exercise
becomes more of a tabletop exercise, or discussion based scenario rather than a hands on session.
ITEM 2 (MCS 200 UHF Radios)
Currently we have had to use all of our spare radios to keep the current system operating. We now have no spare radios to
replace one that goes down.
ITEM 3 (Mobile Computer Systems)
Currently dispatched by voice radio only. Multiple verifications by voice are requested, especially given similar street
names and address ranges, thereby creating excess radio traffic.
EMS Grant Application
10. Justification Summary, Attachment Page 2 of 3
C. ITEM 1 (Universal Patient Simulator)
Monroe County Fire Rescue is proposing the purchase of a Laerdal "Sim-Man" patient simulator. This simulator
encompasses the needs of any conceivable scenario based or practical skills training. It can be used for BLS as well as
ACLS, BTLS, A TLS, and Advanced Airway classes, It will also enhance our ability for continuing education and quality
assurance of our crews in the field.
ITEM 2 (MCS 200 UHF Radios)
Purchase 9 new Motorola UHF radios to replace all of the current EMS radios.
ITEM 3 (Mobile Computer Systems)
Purchase Mobile Computer Systems with mapping capabilities to be installed on all emergency vehicles to provide written
verification of addresses, incident particulars, and unit status confirmation thereby assuring efficient responses and safety of
personnel.
D. ITEM 1 (Universal Patient Simulator)
Due to the ever increasing cutbacks in County government, the likelihood of obtaining any new training equipment outside
this grant is practically zero. Ifnot funded we would be forced to continue to use the outdated and irreparable training aids
we have now, and the quality of our continuing education and scenario based assessment of our field crews will not be
effective.
ITEM 2 (MCS 200 UHF Radios)
If this project is not funded we will have to look for another source of financing to make sure that our EMS vehicles can
communicate with the appropriate hospitals.
ITEM 3 (Mobile Computer Systems)
E. ITEM 1 (Universal Patient Simulator)
ITEM 2 (MCS 200 UHF Radios)
ITEM 3 (Mobile Computer Systems)
Monroe County Fire Rescue provides EMS services to residents and visitors to the Florida Keys; from Mile Marker 4.5
(Cow Key Channel Bridge) to Mile Marker 113 (Miami-Dade/Monroe County line), exclusive of the municipalities of
Marathon (MM 40-56) and Islamorada (MM 73-90); although we do provide mutual aid to these cities as well as the city of
Key West. All equipment to be purchased will serve these areas,
EMS Grant Application
10. Justification Summary, Attachment Page 3 of 3
F. ITEM I (Universal Patient Simulator)
Upon award of the grant, RFQ's could be issued within 30 days, with complete purchase and delivery 60 days beyond that.
A comprehensive training program to utilize the new equipment wiII also be developed during the same time frame, for
implementation upon delivery.
ITEM 2 (MCS 200 UHF Radios)
If the Grant is approved the Radios will be immediately ordered, They usually take 6 to 8 weeks to arrive. Once they
arrive in Monroe County they would be programmed and then installed in the Rescue Units. Installation usually takes
about 3 days per unit. Within one month of receiving the radios they should all be installed in the rescue units.
ITEM 3 (Mobile Computer Systems)
This project would be completed within 12 months of fund availability.

II. Outcome For Proiects That Provide or Effect Direct Services to Emen!encv Victims
Attachment Page 1 of 2
A. ITEM 1 (Universal Patient Simulator): In the 12 month period from 4/1I01 to 4/1I02, Monroe County Fire Rescue
delivered five major training programs to it's employees, for the basis of initial and continuing education. Most classes
were offered to both EMTs and Paramedics. Average attendance was 31. Vie have a staff of 42, including the Supervisors.
The breakdown of types of classes and numbers trained are as follows:
. University of Miami Acute Myocardial Infarction and 12 Lead Class
21 Employees
. University of Miami Emergency Management of Acute Stroke
21 Employees
. Advanced/Difficult Airway management (including In service
on Pertrach Emergency Tracheotomy device, and Laryngeal Mask Airway) 31 Employees
. Basic Trauma Life Support (Advanced Class)
40 Employees
. Air Medical Core Curriculum (DOT Standard Course)
40 Employees
(We have a career staff of 42, avg. attendance = 73% career personnel)
We also trained over 253 individuals through our AHA Community Training Center to BLS skill levels, from AED through
Healthcare provider. No quantitative data is available for few scenario based skills testing/development sessions that were
conducted for field personnel. Although there is no directly identifiable relationship between patient outcomes and the
frequency/quality of training, it is a widely held belief among EMS providers and educators that more training equals better
patient care.
ITEM 2 (MCS 200 UHF Radios): N/ A
ITEM 3 (Mobile Computer Systems): N/ A
B. ITEM 1 (Universal Patient Simulator): In the 12 month period after the resources become available, we would anticipate
implementation of an aggressive training and quality assurance program, which would include all of the career EMTs and
Paramedics, along with County Volunteer FireFighters (first responders and EMTs) participating as well. We would plan
for 93% participation from our career staff, and would plan on 4 major training events per year. Following is the proposed
training schedule:
· Advanced Cardiac Life Support
39 Employees
. Basic Trauma Life Support (Initial & Re-certifications)
39 Employees
. Advanced Airway / Difficult Intubation
39 Employees
. Patient Assessment Workshop
39 Employees
In addition we would also implement a skills testing/on duty skills evaluation program whereby crews would be presented
with different scenarios each month, related to the training received the month prior, This would allow for measurable

C. ITEM 1 (Universal Patient Simulator): The figures in section (A) above were taken from training records and attendance
sheets for each of the classes taught. Section (8)'s figures are projections, based on four major training events per year.
D. ITEM 1 (Universal Patient Simulator): The overall outcome of the project should be a greater skill and comfort level
among those personnel providing Emergency care to the sick and injured of our jurisdiction. Secondary to this we could
expect an improved level of service and patient care, reduced on scene times, better patient assessment skills among our
staff, and improved customer service. We would near 100% participation in our training and skills review.
ITEM 2 (MCS 200 UHF Radios): N/A
ITEM 3 (Mobile Computer Systems): This project is expected to provide reduced response times by having written
confirmation of addresses available in the cab of the emergency vehicles, eliminating the mistakes of duplicate street names
with similar address ranges- a common occurrence in the Florida Keys. Attached information including milepost
references, subdivision names, near cross streets and actual key locations will eliminate the need for multiple radio
interactions with busy sheriff's dispatchers and the potential for wrong turns. The safety of crews will be enhanced by real-
time availability updates of on scene conditions as the units respond. This will give crews a "heads-up" as to the need to
coordinate more closely with law enforcement or to call in additional fire rescue resources. Future availability of mapping
and routing features, as well as GPS links will ensure closest-unit recommendations for emergencies.
