Mich. Admin. Code R. 325.22111 - Life support agencies; general provisions
Rule 111.
(1) A
life support agency shall not operate unless it is licensed by the department
and operates under the direction of a medical control authority in accordance
with department-approved protocols. A life support agency shall not operate at
a level that exceeds its license or violates approved medical control authority
protocols, unless otherwise allowed by part 209 of the code, MCL
333.20901 to
333.20979.
(2) A life support agency license shall do
both the following:
(a) Communicate approved
protocols to appropriate emergency medical services personnel.
(b) Provide emergency medical services in
accordance with protocols established by the medical control authority and
approved by the department.
(3) A life support agency application shall
not be approved by the department unless signed by the medical director of each
medical control authority responsible for the service area of the life support
agency in accordance with
R 325.22205(2).
The medical director's signature serves as confirmation that the medical
control authority intends to provide medical control to the life support
agency.
(4) A life support agency,
except an aircraft transport operation, shall provide at least 1 life support
vehicle for response to requests for emergency assistance on a 24-hour-a-day,
7-day-a-week basis in accordance with its licensure level and medical control
authority protocols.
(5) All life
support agencies shall have a mutual aid agreement with another life support
agency to ensure a response within the bounds of its service area.
(6) If no other life support agency is
licensed in the medical control authority that meets this criteria, a mutual
aid agreement may be entered into with a life support agency in an adjacent
medical control authority. This does not preclude a life support agency from
entering into additional mutual aid agreements with other life support agencies
that are at a level of licensure that is less than their level of
licensure.
(7) A life support
agency shall notify the jurisdictional medical control authority of any of the
following:
(a) Any investigations,
disciplinary actions, or exclusions against the life support agency with the
potential to impact service delivery.
(b) Action taken by an agency against
emergency medical services personnel based on a violation of section 20958 of
the code, MCL
333.20958.
