Several Counties reported on their Community Paramedic programs. Butte Co has now enrolled 400 participants in their MI follow-up LA Co. reported one study did not have enough participants to render valid results LA Co reported on another study doing follow-up care on MIs. Re-admissions have significantly been reduced. Several areas reporting they are following suggestions for monitoring pain control reduction.
6. Government Affairs (Denno)
1. ISQIP (Laverty) Attendees discussed previous topics including the need to carry Personal Malpractice Insurance (PMI) and not to rely on your employer for coverage, the reasons being:
· Having PMI does not make you a “deep pocket” and therefore more apt to be sued
· If you have PMI you will have your own attorney at your side, only interested in protecting you, at all depositions, hearings and trials (vs attorneys for physicians and hospitals with their respective client’s interests foremost in their minds)
· The proper PMI will protect you in the event you are investigated by the California Board of Registered Nursing, none of whom are medical professionals; many nurses are placed in the position of defending themselves before the CBRN against accusations (real or false) made by former co-workers, former spouses or significant other or former in-laws, at the cost of thousands of dollars
2. Sb 1299 will soon begin taking effect, including:
· Mandating increased violence deceleration training to include ALL hospital employees providing direct patient care
· Hospital wide violence protection plan which includes nurses in the planning
· Mandated reporting to CALOSHA for all on the job injuries caused by violence
· Depending on the type of attack and/or injury determines the time within which hospitals must report to the appropriate law-enforcement and CALOSHA; non-refundable fines in the thousands will be leveled for failure to report within the mandated times
