INITIATINO PROBLEM.18�1E. PNTY .What.Whsn�1MMre.Why):
The Emergency Medi al S rvices Institute (EMSI) was established to address common needs and
concerns in the E t Me ro emergency medical services community. EMSI is an opportunity for
Saint Paul to ack wled e by sharing in training, .technology, research and resouz�ces. Sharing
efforts in a coo inat d, combined approach' will benefit the community. The Mayor has agreed
to support EMSI's 'nten and recommend a multi year finarlc�.al.:;c�2�e�nent.
�uwwr�ea���:
Saint Paul's EMS fort will be coordinated with the balance of the East Metro area. The
City will sha�'e i adva cements in EMS, perhaps not possible within the confines of our own
financial li.m�t$t' ns. he City's commitment will likely leverage additional public/private
dollars. The �ost f pr viding an essential city need will be shared with others. Saint Paul
will partake of a new knowledge, methods or techniques that would improve the delivery of
EMS to its reside s.
ois�v�wr,�c�s��ovEO: •
$20,000 cost comm'tmerit (for 1990 - $11,000 from the Contingnet Reserve and $9,000 from
existing Fire Dep rtmen resources) . Long term support will require financial commitments
in future budgets.

1,,.., �,���: .�'., , �. �<�.:,, .
The Institute is a col�abor tion of local ambulance services, hospitals, public saEety agencies,
'nstitutio . Its� u ose is to provide training, technology, and other resources to
and other t �s ,P rP
ambulance crews, emerg ncy room staff, and other emergency services providers, and to
conduct research
th'rat lea�s to advances in emergency services. .
EMSI will not replrace ttle current system or its funding sources. It will be aimed at the .
acquisition of add�tiona funding -to aid in the acquisition of new knowledge and the
evaluation of new n�hetho s and technologies.
,
BENEFITS:
1. Education and�jesear¢h to ensure unifoim high qualiry emergency care and coordination
� across the regian in the years to come.
2.
Additional needed.swpport for emergency medical secvices in a time of public funding

3. .Evaluation oE �ew �mergency medical technologies and procedures under quali�ied

services have �ecorc�e much more than a rapid ambulance nde to the p
the resent tirne, th rapies such as cardiac defibrillation and medications previously
P �
available only in hos�itals are given routinely at home or wherever the patient has need.
New technologles an procedures such as pacemakers and clot dissolving drugs for heart

therapies requiire tr ining of ambulance personnel as well as evaluatio lieseerelcu e
Effective med�cal s pervision and control must also be provided. All t q
coordination, accou tability, know how, and money beyond the reach of individual
local emergen�y res�onse agencies.

2. Pressure on pucblic ,�'unding. Local government is assuming more responsibilitie n
without more resourc�s to support them If emergency medical services are left on their ow
to compete for'resou�rces,manY communides may be unable to mauntain and improve their
emergency r�s�onse pability. If this were to happen, the East metro emergency medical
. system could biecom a hodge podge of inconsistent local capabilities.

1. Raises public �nd p�ivate funds to support new educational efforts and research.
2. Contracts with other� to provide training in new areas of clinical relevance to regional
ambulance se�vices. ' . .
3, Identifies syst�m prmblems and develops methods of solving them. �
4. Contracts wichiothers to provide reseazch and evaluation of new emergency medical

5. �. Contracts wit}� corpprations to evaluate relevant emergency medical services products.
6. Ensures that$ast metro communides have access to current proven techno(ogies and skills. r
