Service LIcense Renewal Period
Subject: Service License Renewal Period.

Dear Colleagues:

Please take a moment to communicate with the services in your region about the upcoming service license renewal period beginning next Monday (April 1 through June 30).  A link to the online renewal application can be found on our website, but it will not be activated until April 1, and it will be turned off at midnight on July 1.  https://www.alabamapublichealth.gov/ems/service-licensure.html

We have diligently worked to significantly trim down the application, but one addition this year is an attestation that each service has a Quality Assurance/Quality Improvement (QA/QI) Plan in place.  This plan does nothave to be submitted to the OEMS, but there should be one drafted and utilized "in house".  For those services that do not have a QA/QI plan, they may seek out templates from their respective regional office, and/or go to our website where we have a suggested checklist to create one. https://www.alabamapublichealth.gov/ems/assets/qaqi-guide.pdf

Those services in the East and West Region are required to submit copies of their Fluid/Drug, Controlled Substance, and Infectious Disease Prevention plans this year.  

We hope for another smooth renewal cycle.  I encourage anyone who has questions about the renewal process or the required plans to contact us.

Thank you for your continued support as we all continue to improve the quality of EMS in the state of Alabama.

Chris
