PROGRAM INFORMATION & DATA:

This is a new division,  previously  reported  under  the  Public  Safety

division, that will assume the responsibility for centrally  coordinating

the delivery of Emergency Medical Services (EMS)  within  Enfield.   This

function was previously conducted through  a  combined  effort  from  the

Police  Department,  the  Community   Ambulance   Fund   and   the   Fire

Departments.  During the course of the fiscal year,  EMS  in  Enfield  is

expected to undergo a significant transition that includes,  but  is  not

limited  to,  formalizing  relationships  between  the  Town   and   Fire

Districts on the delivery of EMS, creating performance  based  contracts,

establishing  a  revenue  recovery  process  and  implementing  a  public

education/information  campaign  to   make   residents   aware   of   the

significant adjustments that will occur.

A critical aspect to the success of this endeavor will be the efforts  of

the EMS Manager, who will be responsible for  working  with  the  various

EMS agencies and serving as Staff Liaison to the Town  Council  appointed

EMS Advisory Commission to develop  and  implement  an  EMS  STRUCTURE  &

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.

DEPARTMENT GOALS:

Develop a cost effective EMS STRUCTURE &  IMPLEMENTATION  PLAN  no  later

that December 31, 2003 that consists of, but is not limited to:

a. Operating  relationships  and  procedures  with  non-municipal  agents

(i.e. fire districts, private ambulance services, etc.).

b. Performance based contracts.

c. Revenue recovery.

d. Public education - to focus initially on new changes in Enfield's  EMS

system.

e. Quality assurance.

f. Equipment acquisition.

g. Training.

H. Other relevant items.
