New Collaborative in Inland Region Will Address ED Offload Delays
A collaborative formed in early June to find solutions to address the emergency department offload delays that affect the Inland region. Initially developed as a recommendation from the Riverside County EMS System Advisory Committee to create a collaborative for Riverside County, the group has since been composed to include San Bernardino County and look at the Inland Empire as a whole.
The first meeting included cross sectorial representation including REMSA and ICEMA Directors, HASC RVP, San Bernardino County Health Officer, hospital CEO representation from each county, ambulance provider representation from each county, fire chief representation from each county and a hospital CNO.
The initial meeting focused on examining current issues as well as mitigation strategies. Meetings are planned to continue on a monthly basis.
