FIRE DEPARTMENT NURSE EDUCATOR

 

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council :

Approve Lyn Riley’s contract in the amount of $15,000 for the purposes of providing the State mandated continuing education training and for administering the Los Angeles County required paramedic "Quality Assurance Program". This contract is for the fiscal year of July 2000 through June 30, 2001.

 

Background:

The State EMS Authority requires all Paramedics receive a total of 24 hours of continuing education (CE) every year. In addition the Los Angeles Department of Health Services requires that all paramedic provider agencies have in place a Quality Assurance Program.

 

Analysis:

Lyn Riley currently provides the required CE training to the Cities of El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach. Lyn is uniquely qualified to provide this training due to her pre-hospital emergency care background and her ability to coordinate our program with the other South Bay Cities. In addition to providing the required CE training she also administers the Fire Department "Quality Assurance Program" by assisting on emergency incidents and reviewing the Paramedics EMS field run reports. The Beach Cities Health District currently is providing the funding for the Nurse Educator.
