The Board of Directors of the Southwest Virginia EMS Council approved revisions to the regional EMS Performance Improvement Plan at their regular meeting. These documents are available in the Plans and Protocols section of this site.
The Southwest Virginia EMS Council, under direction of the Office of Emergency Medical Services, coordinates a regional Performance Improvement Program. Data is submitted quarterly to review performance related to specific indicators determined by regional performance improvement committees. Participation in this program ensures that all agencies are compliant with EMS Rules and Regulations requirements to undertake periodic PI review.
The PI Template is provided to help EMS agencies and OMDs design their own PI programs to meet organizational needs.
