IHC Representative

What works well
204 Control Operations, Work assignments => TASK, PURPOSE and END STATE
Useful to guide work
Ensures everyone is on the same page
Medical Resource Summary
Create one spot for all medical information, provides clarity
What would be helpful
Incident Objectives that relate to work that is being done on the ground
Creating more consistency between non team DIVS
Common terminology used for medical resource make sure they are identified by level of care that they are able to provide
Terminology on helispots ( not using medivac)
Creating a standard for 9 –line use, limiting radio traffic for non-emergency/ green incidents
Designate helispots when there are unlimited options to reduce confusion in an emergency situation
Managing 2:1 in real time
Risk Assessment Process => teams are good at asking for feedback and closing the loop
Overall trend is improvement
Reach out to other regions and IC councils to pass on information through National IHC steering committee
