Niagara Co MERS Reporting
To all the Niagara County EMS Agencies Recently the NC EMS Council has changed the way they would prefer to have MERS Reports called into the hospital. As we are all aware There has been a new radio channel installed in all MERS radios, MED32. However, because of recent scanner activity and the possibility of HIPAA violations, the Council is requesting that you call in via phone in lieu of the radio. The council is requesting immediately usage, however they are placing a target date of Aug. 14th on this request. The MEDS32 will remain online and active. Please read the email sent from Chad regarding this request. If there are any questions please feel free to contact me (585) 345-6110 |
