Authorize the purchase of narcotics (controlled substances) for a five-year period from the City’s Medical Director, International Medical Direction, LLC, Phoenix, Arizona for emergency medical aid at an estimated annual expenditure of $80,000.00. (Fire/EMS 24-201) (Dustin Fields/Robin R. Wilson)

 

end

 

STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

Purchasing narcotics for emergency response provides the City of Yuma Fire Department with the ability to provide patient care through Emergency Medical Services aligning with the City Council’s strategic outcomes of Safe and Prosperous and Respected and Responsible.

 

REPORT:

The Yuma Fire Department is required by Arizona Department of Health Services to carry controlled substances in their Drug Boxes. These controlled substances can only be purchased from a Medical Director that possesses a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) license. The DEA requires this license not only for the purchase of these controlled substances, but also for administration to patients, so the use and expiration of unused narcotics can all be diligently tracked and monitored. International Medical Direction serves the Yuma Fire Department in this capacity as the Medical Director.
