Who is overseeing this program?
Solution
Every service providing PIFT transfers is now required to have a service level medical director that reviews 100% of all PIFT calls. In addition, the PIFT paramedic will be able to contact the sending physician, receiving physician, service medical director, or local on-line medical control (OLMC) in the ED for guidance should it be needed.
