At this rate, looks to be a 5 year process. What type of medical oversight does the EMS Agency have for the majority of the providers operating without the County permit?

There is no oversight by la County until such time as company is granted license by them.

It's an error and yes they likely will be approved. The only company that didn't get approved was Alpha and that was because of fraud as otherwise they would have appealed like both Elite Ambulance and Med-Life did.

Hey, how is the call volume at Gentle ride for night shifts or Sundays or day shifts? Do they hire part-time attendants?

Gentle Ride

You will have to contact them, I no longer work there. Had to move out of the area I know that while I was there they were good to accommodate employee's regarding schooling ect. they are very supportive to the employees...I sure if you call them they might be able to help you out, not sure if they are even hiring...not to many people leave the company.

While I wasn't at the meeting, i am guessing it will be announced in 30 days. Looking at their application, it did appear that dispatcher wasn't familiar with procedure on handing off call to 911.

Yea I heard that, it was a part-timer from what I understand and got spooked when county EMS paid them an office visit, could that effect there licensing approval??

I would hope not but when this process started i thought it was because county wanted to reduce amount of company's that were active. It's pretty clear that appeal officer is not seeing eye to eye with the board being both Elite and Med-Life both won appeal. In Gentle Ride case, i would think that dispatcher needs more practice and maybe have the procedure in the open so if he/she ever panics again they can just read it quickly.

Thats exactly what I suggested, well hope it works out well for them. They are a good company and I witnesses administration/management doing everything possible on a daily basic to be in compliance with LEMSA. They are a good company. I do wish them the best..

An i-Pad and a nasty union campaign. I'd stay an arm's length from these folks. No bueno.:excl:
