I received an email stating that I am being audited by the state and next steps.
I spent about 30 minutes uploading proof of all of my courses.

Where did they go wrong?
I was surprised to see how many interfacility transports my county service provides.
There doesn't appear to be a shortage of private companies serving the area.
I'm shocked. Is this the norm for public/third service agencies?
I recently found that my local EMS service posts dispatch information to PulsePoint.
In addition to providing a status screen with local EMS/fire units, it also notifies trained users nearby if CPR is needed. Really slick implementation.
Does your organization use PulsePoint? Have you ever...
