(DENVER) — A bill that will create good, high-paying jobs in the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) industry and reduce the number of emergency personnel vacancies throughout Colorado passed on an initial voice vote today. House Bill 1275 is a product of the Joint Select Committee on Job Creation and Economic Growth, and aims to create new jobs. Due to current long wait times to process out-of-state candidates, many vacancies remain unfilled. The legislation allows the Department of Public Health and Environment to offer provisional certifications for up to 90 days to out-of-state paramedics. This will create more EMT jobs, while at the same time increasing EMT readiness in rural parts of the state. “Not only will this bill create jobs throughout the state, it will also cut down response time for people in emergencies – we will save lives, fast,” said bill sponsor Rep. Dennis Apuan (D-Colorado Springs). “We need to get people to work and we need to make sure every single Coloradan is safe and protected.” When there are openings in the EMS industry, they can be difficult to fill due to the long wait time to process out-of-state applications for a Colorado State Paramedic Certification, and many candidates change their minds. Offering a provisional certification to an out of state Paramedic who can show that they have current certification in another state and/or National Registry certification would allow Colorado EMS agencies to fill open positions that normally take months to finalize. Under HB 1275, applicants must meet all Colorado statutory and regulatory requirements for EMT Certification. It is a cash funded certification program, where EMT applicants will pay a fee for the Provisional Certification. Rep. Apuan continued, “Emergency Medical Services are essential to public safety along with police and fire services, as well as serving as a vital health care safety net for communities. It’s frankly unnecessary that these highly qualified emergency personnel cannot serve the people of Colorado because of needless bureaucratic delay. This legislation will help the first-responder system to run efficiently.” -- Posted by Staff This is the actual link for the Bill itself http://www.leg.state.co.us/Clics/CLICS2009...ile=1275_01.pdf

Welch Allyn is recalling about 14,000 external defibrillators after 39 reported incidents, including two that involved patient deaths. The recall, announced Tuesday, involves 14,054 AED 10 and MRL JumpStart external defibrillators made between Oct. 3, 2002, and Jan. 25, 2007. The Beaverton, Ore., company says there is a remote chance the devices, available through prescription, may produce low-energy shock, shutdown unexpectedly or be susceptible to electromagnetic noise interference. The issues might prevent defibrillation of a patient in cardiac arrest and could lead to death, the company said in a statement. The company had received 20 instances of low-energy shock, eight instances of electromagnetic noise interference, and 11 instances of the device unexpectedly shutting down. To the company's knowledge, the defects of the device did not contribute to the two deaths, said spokesman Jamie Arnold. "Human factors played a role in each incident: damaged device in one and failure to follow directions in the other," he said in an e-mail. The company said customers should keep AED 10 or MRL JumpStart units in use until they receive replacements because the chance of malfunction is low.

The only way for professionalism to ever happen-is the caliber of people in the profession-they need to act profesionally,look professional,Dress Professional looking. the above is stupid people acting outside there bounds and intelligence- as far as the Law Enforcement t-shirts-they are produced for the Officers and family members of the Officers, same with FD shirts, and EMS shirts, there are people like me that collect those, but I have been the above and i wear some of my shirts, but if asked i can back it up--the guy being arrested at the party-well different states have diff laws on impersonating an officer- Here in Colorado -Impersonation of a Officer,Firefighter,EMT is a Felony. But that requires an act to go with it, such as stopping a car or threatening someone with arrests.. so much for my soap box....... 8)
