Our combined efforts ensure that we collectively provide the highest level of emergency services in the most effective and efficient manner possible.Chief Brad BradleyFire Chief, Northwest Fire District:The work done at the PSCD is critical to improving survival for many patients with time critical illness, and their staff collaborated with several partners to improve outcomes of telecommunicator-assisted patients this year.TFD, with the support of the PCSD, created a quality improvement program, connecting telecommunicators with information about what happens on-scene after they provide CPR instructions to callers. Through this feedback, telecommunicators not only have the opportunity to learn about what happened after the call was over but are also provided with the information necessary to save a life the next time a caller reports a cardiac arrest.Dr. Joshua GaitherMedical Director 2022 n ANNUAL REPORT31'
