Coastal Valleys EMS Agency News

CVEMSA has completed the public comment period and is happy to officially post the revised CVEMSA Treatment Guideline Handbook. CVEMSA providers have 30 days from posting to educate and train staff appropriately. To assist with training and education, CVEMSA has developed a summary of changes document. 

April 11, 2024 will mark the official effective date for the updated policies across the region. Providers may implement changes any time prior to April 11^th , 2024; please notify the CVEMSA upon implementation. Please note, implementation requires that all clinical staff have received training and education. Additionally, all medication and equipment changes must be made universally throughout the organization.

 Special Considerations:

1. Handtevy has been notified of the changes and is actively updating our mobile app. IMPORTANT: Handtevy Admins must “accept changes” within the admin portal; Changes will not be reflected on the mobile app until these changes have been accepted.
2. The PPP app, will have the updated protocols live on April 11^th, 2024. 
3. The previous version of the CVEMSA Treatment Guideline Handbook will remain available on the website until April 11^th, 2024.
