All,

Thanks for joining our second meeting. I appreciated your interest and engagement. As a recap:

  1.   We discussed pros & cons to contracting with outside entities for community safety services
    
  2.   We discussed different funding avenues for these services
    
  3.   We reviewed and discussed the scopes of contracts from 5 different municipalities. Those sample contracts and a few others are uploaded to the dropbox folder.
    
  4.   We ended the meeting requesting other folks to get involved. Any volunteers to lead a meeting?   Suggested topics are listed below.
    

a.      Transportation questions - what kind of vehicles needed? Voluntary transportation to hospitals and social services? Involuntary transportation? Transportation of minors?

b.      Litigation - is there any active litigation?

                                                           i.      Liability for services?

                                                         ii.      What governmental immunity, if any, exists for these services? Official immunity for EMTs or clinicians?

c.      Data

                                                           i.      Explore and discuss privacy issues, HIPAA, and state laws applicable to the different professions involved

                                                         ii.      Data sharing with other entities for the continuation of care. What can we do with the data? Data analysis: what are we learning from these fairly new programs?

d.      Others?
Also, if you missed the meeting, the recording and short powerpoint presentation are available in the dropbox folder.

Thanks again and I look forward to our next meeting.
