In my SIMPLE MINDED review of papers and persons I see on the news to be
FLOWN by Helicopter, more than 90% did not have a DISTANCE, Wilderness terrain
or water, or clinical condition which warrented the AIR AMBULANCE flight.
Most of those papers and cases I have review would have been more
expediciously taken by ground. so.....................
7. Specific diagnoses and criteria warrenting helicopter transport
8. Distances below which helicopter use should NOT be used
9. Weather minimums
10. Mandated review of all flights on appropriateness by the regional
trauma center - Level I M&M process.

Part of the issue however is regardless of what a state feels they can't
regulate the aero anything industry.

And what does the data say? Are you going to use data? Who has the data you
are looking for? Or will this be a "feel-good
shoot-from-the-hip-emotional-see-look-what-I-did-at-least-something-so-the-government-doesn't-do-something-fir
st" meeting, putting the same sort or types of policies together? I would
think that an independent panel of non-stakeholders that can have an objective
view supported by current data, will go much farther and have more meaning to
implement change. Any other way is suspect. Also, please consider what
individual states have to say about new rules as each may have different laws and
ideas for safety.
My two cents . . .

Hello,
I have heard the aeromedical folks are convening a large group of
stakeholders and holding a meeting this month or next. I would imagine they would be
able to advise about representation at that meeting...seems redundant and
detrimental to them and EMS to form different task forces/groups. Should be all be
in this together? I would imagine NAEMT would be a significant partner in
this group.
