PROGRAM INFORMATION & DATA:
 
 This is a new division, previously reported under the Public Safety division,
 that will assume the responsibility for centrally coordinating the delivery of
 Emergency Medical Services (EMS) within Enfield.  This function was previously
 conducted through a combined effort from the Police Department, the Community
 Ambulance Fund and the Fire Departments.  During the course of the fiscal year,
 EMS in Enfield is expected to undergo a significant transition that includes,
 but is not limited to, formalizing relationships between the Town and Fire
 Districts on the delivery of EMS, creating performance based contracts,
 establishing a revenue recovery process and implementing a public
 education/information campaign to make residents aware of the significant
 adjustments that will occur.
 
 A critical aspect to the success of this endeavor will be the efforts of the EMS
 Manager, who will be responsible for working with the various EMS agencies and
 serving as Staff Liaison to the Town Council appointed EMS Advisory Commission
 to develop and implement an EMS STRUCTURE & IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.
 
 DEPARTMENT GOALS:
 
 Develop a cost effective EMS STRUCTURE & IMPLEMENTATION PLAN that consists of,
 but is not limited t
 
 a. Operating relationships and procedures with non-municipal agents (i.e. fire
 districts, private ambulance services, etc.).
 b. Performance based contracts.
 c. Revenue recovery.
 d. Public education - to focus initially on new changes in Enfield's EMS system.
 e. Quality assurance.
 f. Equipment acquisition.
 g. Training.
 H. Other relevant items.
