In 2004, the Sheriff’s Department partnered with Parkview Noble Hospital to provide EMS Dispatch for Noble County which is managed by Parkview Noble Hospital EMS. Any emergency call requiring medical assistance is immediately transferred to the EMS dispatch console located in the Communications Center and that dispatcher is often able to provide “Zero” response time help to the caller. The EMS dispatchers use nationally recognized Advanced Emergency Medical Dispatch (AEMD) standards by providing:
• Pre-arrival instructions to the callers.
• Dispatch life support to the patient’s location.
• Critical run information is relayed to the emergency responders.
• Post-dispatch instructions to the caller.
There are five (5) full-timeEMS dispatchers with an additional seven (7) other medics who are qualified to dispatch, providing services 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Each dispatcher is required to maintain the appropriate EMS certification requirements along with AMED certifications.
EMS dispatchers oversee the operations of four (4) ambulances, and 50 employees which respond to approximately 3600 ambulance calls per year.
