SCHEDULE A <br /> RADIO SPINE BOARD PURCHASE <br /> Project Number: EMOS-04 (O1-H-O1) <br /> MISSION/GOAL - <br /> (State your mission or goal that the project is trying to achieve. E.g. are you trying to <br /> reduce traffic injuries and fatalities? In what specific area of traffic, pedestrian, speeding, <br /> children?) <br /> The goals of this project are: 1) To eliminate collateral injury of accident patients; and 2) <br /> To increase survivability by eliminating the need to remove patients from spine boards <br /> for diagnostic x-rays. The County of Hawaii Fire Department is responsible for all <br /> emergency medical response for the entire island, and has begun outfitting each unit with <br /> a radio translucent spine board. This project will add three additional boards per unit and <br /> therefore enhance each unit's ability to cover multiple injuries at each vehicle accident. <br /> Once completed, no longer will patients suffer additional injury during x-rays, and a <br /> faster diagnostic process may result in quicker life saving treatment. <br /> STRATEGIES <br /> (What are you attempting to accomplish with this project? What you plan to do. E.g. <br /> developing permanent fitting stations for child restraints, enforcement activities, <br /> educational activities.) Use quantitive measures such as the number of training to be held, <br /> number of meetings to be held, number of roadblocks to be established, etc. <br /> This project will impact the entire island of Hawaii by enabling the distribution of radio <br /> <br /> translucent spine boards to all fourteen (14) ambulance units operated by the Fire <br /> Department. Upon delivery, the boards will be dispersed to each unit; no additional <br /> training is required (all new fire fighters are cross trained to Emergency Medical <br /> <br /> Technician level prior to permanent assignments). <br /> SOLUTION/IMPLEMENTATION <br /> <br /> (How will you get it done? E.g. hiring of personnel, purchasing of certain equipment, <br /> <br /> developing statewide conference, etc. The implementation phase should reflect what you <br /> <br /> will be asking for in your budget.) <br /> <br /> The project calls for the purchase of fifty (50) radio translucent spine boards. The <br /> <br /> distribution will be three boards per unit with the eight (8) spare boazds used as back up <br /> <br /> replacements to cover for the boards that are-sent with patients who are transferred off <br /> island for treatment. <br /> <br />
