ABOUT US

Structure & Funding

Structure – 澳门金国际沙登录网址 is governed by an Agency Board of Commissioners, which is appointed by the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners. The Agency Board members are comprised of senior leaders from Atrium Health, Novant Health and Mecklenburg County.

Funding – 澳门金国际沙登录网址 is not a for-profit Agency and has two sources of funding: fees for service directly from patients and county subsidy. To determine 澳门金国际沙登录网址’s annual funding request, 澳门金国际沙登录网址 forecasts the budget needed to operate the system and expected revenue that will be generated during the upcoming fiscal year. The Agency generally has more expenses than it does revenue due to a number of factors such as patients’ inability to pay and 澳门金国际沙登录网址’s responsibility to provide services that are non-revenue generating (such as responding and treating patients on scene without transporting). 澳门金国际沙登录网址 then funds the gap between expenses and projected revenue.

Response Configuration

澳门金国际沙登录网址 operates under System Status Management, a complex methodology to ensure coverage.  It uses historical data to predict when and where 911 calls will occur.  All ambulances begin at 澳门金国际沙登录网址 headquarters and are directed to different areas of the County as needed.  County fire departments and the Charlotte Fire Department are all contracted with 澳门金国际沙登录网址 to respond to calls as our key first responder partners.  They play a significant role in patient care, including cardiac arrest protocols.

Clinical Research

澳门金国际沙登录网址’s Performance Improvement team steers industry-leading research initiatives to identify areas of improvement and improve patient outcomes. Along with internal research projects, such as emotional support animals (Therapy Dog Thor pictured on the right), the team participates in various national studies. Most recently, 澳门金国际沙登录网址 is one of 20 EMS agencies in the country investigating new dosing protocols for pediatric seizure patients (pediDOSE), which has the potential to impact EMS standards of care in the future.
