Hospital meeting format and frequency: We are looking at changing the structure and frequency of all of our meetings. We discussed how often we would like to meet, and what we would like to work on. It was discussed that the hospital group would like to meet no less than quarterly. We also brainstormed ideas for workgroups to get some work done on important coalition topics, which is summarized in the membership meeting notes below. Jennifer will distribute a survey to help inform these changes and we will discuss at our next meeting.
The coalition surge test is still a no notice exercise but will be around the same time this year as it was last year (late February/early March). We still need volunteer hospitals to simulate evacuation to meet our evacuation minimum of 444 patients. We will be adding injects to the exercise to better engage public health and emergency management.
We discussed WI Trac issues with using the wrong event templates (ie using an MCI template to distribute situational awareness updates). ***Update*** NICU and Labor and Delivery categories have been added to the bed count events in WI Trac, but do not appear on the main dashboard at this time.
Membership meeting notes
Aurielle Smith has resigned from her position as trauma rep effective at the end of 2018. She will be leaving her position at UW Health to pursue other opportunities. Karen Munt at Meriter retires from full time status at the end of the year, with a full retirement date in spring. Good luck to both of these valuable partners in their future endeavors!
There has been very strong interest in the Center for Domestic Preparedness Wisconsin Week trip scheduled for April 28 – May 4, 2019. There are many more interested parties than available seats, especially in our region. Anyone filling out the preregistration survey at this point is unlikely to get a seat. Remember that individuals can apply independently for CDP’s courses year-round.

Please keep your coalition phone book info up to date. You received the link for this secured document in an email from Jennifer on November 20. This link is not publicly available to protect the information.
Emergency Power Facility Assessment Tool Update (EPFAT)- You must download a security certificate to access this website, which is difficult because the needed certificate is found on the website. Jennifer reached out to US Army Corps of Engineers to explain why this extra step was an additional barrier to sharing this information, and continues to provide feedback on the situation. If your IT department can install this certificate for you, you can upload your information regarding back up power into EPFAT. Certificate is found at

The coalition is looking to revamp the meeting structure and schedule for next year after receiving feedback and learning of best practices in other coalitions. We are looking at only meeting as a large group 1-2x/yr, and having specialized groups meet throughout the year, representing certain disciplines (CMS partners, county jurisdiction like public health and emergency management, etc.). We are also looking at establishing workgroups that would be led by volunteers within the coalition to make progress on specialized plans and topics. Ideas for these work groups include evacuation, supply chain, PEDs, pandemic planning, critical transportation, public health emergency preparedness grant deliverables, critical access hospital regulatory requirements, mental health. Jennifer will develop and distribute a survey to gather input on how partners would like this to look and we will discuss at the February meeting.
SCWIHERC and SCRTAC applied for an opioid minigrant for $40000 and were approved for $35000. This fund will support prescriber education for surgical patients on appropriate dose quantity and strength of narcotics prescribed based on their situation. This project is being led by the Surgical Collaborative of Wisconsin. Once developed, information on how to access this education will be distributed by Jennifer.
Regional Medical Coordination- UW Hospital has formally agreed to act as our regional medical coordinating center. An MOU is being drafted to formalize this relationship. We will start looking at borrowing EMS training materials from Dane County (where this procedure has been operational for almost two years) to share with the rest of the region.
Stop the Bleed- We have 15 classroom kits remaining. Our training has been used so often that it is starting to show signs of wear and tear. We will be purchasing a larger cache of training materials and will have a set to be permanently housed within each county of the region if they request it.
SCRTAC coordinator Dan Williams gave a presentation on falls prevention and a pilot project being conducted in Northeast Wisconsin, using an application called JotForm. Review the slides on this information, the Youtube video we viewed is embedded in the slides. Our next step is to hold a listening session with all involved stakeholders to discuss the best way to develop, use, and process referrals from this project.
Two recent Ebola-related exercises were conducted in our region. St. Mary’s Madison, Baraboo EMS, and Public Health Madison Dane County shared lessons learned from their Joint WI/MN Ebola Transport Full Scale Exercise, and UW Health shared lessons learned from their Special Pathogens Response Full Scale Exercise.
We did not have a lot of time to discuss lessons learned from real events, but will resume the conversation in February.
