High Consequence Infectious Disease (HCID) Ambulance Waiver
11/29/2022
PEMSCs, please consider whether you have a licensed EMS vehicle that you would be willing to have designated as a High Consequence Infectious Disease Vehicle that could be used for those patients determined to need transport to a Special Pathogen Assessment Hospital or Treatment Center. The specific details are explained in the attached letter from Ashley Thoele. A copy of the Equipment Waiver Request Form is attached for your convenience.
If you have the capacity and are willing to designate such a vehicle, please submit the completed Equipment Waiver form to my office and we are happy to assist in getting the EMS MD signature and forwarding the paperwork to Danielle
