DNC Info Regarding Possible Accommodations
As the Agency continues to prepare for the upcoming
DNC, questions have been posed regarding Medic’s
ability to provide accommodations for operations
personnel during the event.
Leadership fully understands that working a 12 ON/
12 OFF schedule may present a problem for those
employees who travel far distances to and from
work. With this in mind, the Agency has created a
survey to find out how many employees would take
advantage of accommodations at Post 100 IF they were
provided during the week of the DNC. Based on the
interest shown through the survey, necessary
resources will be put in place and plans will be communicated.
Please be sure to participate in this survey and answer YES to needing accommodations if
you are certain that you will take advantage of them during the DNC. We will use this
feedback to help us decide what space we need to retain for employee use; we may then
choose to lend our remaining available space to other agencies participating in the DNC
that have made such requests.
The survey can be found at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/KCYT3YG
SURVEYS MUST BE COMPLETED BY WEDNESDAY, JULY 11th by 5:00
PM. Further information will then be communicated once all surveys are
collected!
Finally, a handful of people have inquired about the possibility of having child care provided
by the Agency during the DNC. Although we completely empathize with those seeking such
help, Medic is unable to provide child care services during the DNC. We apologize for any
inconvenience this may cause, but we simply do not have the resources nor experience
required to provide safe child care on a 24 hour basis. Again, we apologize for any
inconvenience this causes.
If you have any questions or concerns about this announcement or other DNC related
plans, please contact any member of the Lead Team.

The Operations staff will be completing an updated demand
analysis for call volume this fall. There will be some
adjustments with current scheduling patterns in order to
address call volume changes to the call distribution patterns.
Without the necessary scheduling adjustments, it would be
difficult to achieve our two primary goals: 1) excellent
patient care and 2) taking care of our employees by
balancing the workload. Therefore, Medic will begin
conducting an annual shift bid that will be effective in
January of each year beginning with 2013.
Shifts varieties of 8, 10, 12 and 14 hours will continue to
exist. Quantities of each will change based upon system
needs. In a survey following last year’s bid, 76% of
participants rated the shift they received as good to
excellent.
The improvements from last year’s bid process will be
included. More shift bid details will be forthcoming following DNC.

beyond will not be accepted until shifts are assigned this November.
If you have any questions, please engage in a discussion with your Supervisor.

Due to state reporting requirements, a change is needed to
the way Medic logs Non-System Users into Siren.
Please continue to add Non-System Users, now adding
P999998 in the ID Number field for all reports that
have a Non-System User added to the call.
In addition, each crew member must have their
position/crew member role chosen as Primary,
Secondary or Third crew in EVERY report,
Unspecified is not acceptable and will show up as a
common data error. First responders are to be logged in as
Third crew members, unless there are already three
members of the Medic crew.
Thank you for your attention to this matter as this is a
requirement set by the state. For questions about the
state required P999998 ID Number, please contact ePCR
Coordinator, Ute Dorflinger at ext. 6158 or via e-mail at
