PROJECT UDPATE: STRESS MANAGEMENT REFERRAL NETWORK
• Psych/Neurotic Disorder (83) • Non-Psychological Mental Disorder (75)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION Develop and implement resources enabling employees to actively review and access mental wellness professionals.
EXPECTED OBJECTIVES • Create on-line tool accessible to employees 24/7/365 for anonymous review and access to mental wellness professionals • Provide additional resources to Human Resources and LDI to manage employee mental wellness needs • Gain knowledge about feasibility and use of on-site mental wellness professionals • Provide employee education on resources
REASON FOR THE EFFORT • Agency has limited availability of knowledge, expertise and resources to address employee (EE) psychological needs • We have maintained a long term relationship with EAP as the provider for EE psychological needs • HR experience and EE feedback indicates EAP does not meet all EE psychological needs • New research indicates a need for alternate tools specific to acute psychological event management • We do not have resources to address acute care intervention in a timely manner • Anecdotally, HR deals with 2-3 EEs with psychological issues each month beyond the scope of an EAP referral • Two of top three Rx classes for Medic are Stimulants and Antidepressants • As measured by Cigna, Medic has 19.3% of employees with depression compared to the Cigna average of 8.8% • As measured by Cigna, our depression adherence with medical, coaching and Rx treatment is 60% of employees with depression compared to the Cigna average of 87% adherence • Employees have asked for resources to address mental wellness through surveys and focus groups • Added benefit to promote Agency as a leader in the EMS industry Medic’s most commonly diagnosed chronic conditions are: • Hypertension (90)

OUTCOME MEASURES • Resources available prior to launch of Stress Management Education • Increased referrals for mental wellness • 12 month survey WHERE AR THEY NOW??? The Stress Management Referral Network improvement team is working to expand the availability of and options for mental well-being professionals; allowing employees easy access to those professionals. The team is currently exploring app and webpage options that will allow employees to leave anonymous, useful reviews about mental health professionals. An anonymous survey is currently under development. Please look for more information soon! The team would love to hear your ideas. The survey will be so employees can share mental health professionals with whom they’ve had success, someone they would recommend to a co-worker, and the type of help that provider was able to provide. The team will also be reaching out to these professionals to explore building a relationship with them, making it easier for our employees to contact them and access their services.

The latest Performance Pay Tracking Period began on March 1. We are striving to meet the Patient Satisfaction goal of a ≥ 50% rating (experience as “Excellent”). In order to create a comfortable margin of performance, while continuing to improve the patient experience, we would like to share some feedback from recent patient focus groups. The two areas that patients value the most are: 1. Communication from the treating crew: “Explain treatment options and procedures” “Provide reassurance and compassionate communication with the patient” 2. Setting clear expectations: “Set transport length expectation” “Set a triage level expectation before arriving at the hospital”

DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW: CMED Known as “First First Responders” and Emergency Fire Dispatchers (EFDs), Medic’s CMED is comprised of an Operations Manager, four Operations Supervisors, six Assistant Supervisors, and 38 EMD/ EFD Telecommunicators. MEDIC’s 911 Center is a Secondary PSAP (Primary Service Answering Point) to three Primary PSAPs; Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, the Cornelius Police Department and the Pineville Police Department. All Telecommunicators and Supervisors are certified as Emergency Medical Dispatchers (EMDs). MEDIC CMED’S PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES • Dispatch and coordination of all EMS resources, 911 calls within Mecklenburg County and medical calls in the City of Charlotte. The types of calls range from medical complaints, assesses life threats, provides potentially lifesaving medical care, providing instructions to perform CPR. • Triaging of all Mecklenburg County fire responses, the dispatching of Mecklenburg County fire resources and first responder agencies (13 departments). For fire responses, an EFD may give instructions for assisting individuals trapped in a building that is on fire or instructions for escape form a sinking vehicle. • Triaging and scheduling of Non-Emergency (NET) calls for non-ambulatory transports originating in Mecklenburg County. • CMED utilizes tools for deployment of resources (System Status Management). The system analyzes previous years of data using algorithm to predict when and where the next emergency responses is most likely to occur. Resources are deployed based upon demand projections
and CMED moves units throughout the county to ensure optimal coverage at all times. • CMED also functions in the MOC (Mobile Operations Center) for events such as Carolina Panther’s Games, Speed Street, etc. CMED also performs an essential role in the Command Center during special events in Charlotte throughout the year. • CMED conferences in a third party interpreter when English is not the caller’s primary language. CMED can also connect with the deaf community via TTY (teletypewriter text telephone) and TDD (telecommunications device for the deaf). WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING IN CMED? • Last month, CMED moved its back-up center to the CMPD/CFD Training Academy to upgrade Medic’s 911 Phone System. In addition to a few enhancements to the phone system, this upgrade will allow Medic move to the Text2-911 program, which we anticipate will occur this fall. • On May 4th, the City of Charlotte’s Radio Shop began an upgrade to the P25 Radio System (Regional Public Safety Network). Operations Supervisor Tim Brake is responsible for the distribution of new portables and additional mobile radio installs in the coming months. The County has the lead on the project plan and we will be sending additional updates as that plan is executed. Employees are also welcome to visit and observe or stop by and chat with CMED/Central employees at any time! For more information, email Corinne Walser at corinner@medic911.com.
