The San Francisco EMS Agency held its first Proof of Concept exercise for the upcoming pilot program on active determination of ambulance destinations by the SFGH base hospital which is scheduled for Sept. 18 - Oct. 2. The exercise was hosted on 7/10/19 at City College of San Francisco, where volunteers were enlisted to act as patient transport units with simulated patient encounters and requests for base hospital consultation. Approximately 50 patient scenarios were run over a 2 hour period with post event review by participants. Pictured are Drs. Colwell, Silverman and Malmud assisting new EMS/Disaster Fellows. Drs. Lauren Hart and Jeremy Lacocque determine optimal destinations for the simulated patients using mockups of system data and communications tools available at the SFGH ED. The event was a successful trial run and will inform the EMS Research Committee, chaired by Dr. Juan Carlos Montoy, to further refine the project prior to the go-live date this fall. Not pictured but also participating and contributing to the data collection and analysis was UCSF EM R3 Dr. David Dillon.
