q' <br />If awarded, how will your EMS System assure that the resources provided by this grant will be sustained <br />after this funding ends? <br />One of the keys to the ongoing success of the project is the continued impact of the implementation team member when <br />they are no longer directly involved in the project. Currently, Orange County is filling key administrative positions in the <br />EMS Chain of Command. However, when the positions are filled within the next 3 months, the EMS Operations Supervisor <br />will have time to.transition to the ZOL~ data systems project. During the crucial implementation phase the new staff <br />member will aid in the massive amount of policy development and training to bring the entire EMS staff into compliance with <br />the new policies as well as the data input system. As the project period ends and and the need for ongoing training <br />diminishes to to only new staff, the Operations Supervisor can shift into the role filled by the new team member. This <br />assures that the improvements seen as a result of the EMS Toolkit Grant are not lost after the departure of the funded staff <br />'However, should funds become available during the next budget cycle, we would strongly advocate for the ongoing support <br />of the position to become a permanent member of the Orange County EMS staff as a Quality Assurance/Quality <br />,Improvement program full time equivalency. <br />Page 8 of 15 <br />
