Iowa Mission: Lifeline EMS 12- Lead Equipment Grant
2nd Chance
Mission: Lifeline is an American Heart Association initiative to
develop and enhance systems of care that
improve patient care and ultimately reduce death and disability due
to acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The first subset of AMI, that
has the most evidenced based need for time critical systems of care
implementation, is ST- elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). To
that end, Mission: Lifeline Iowa’s intent is to develop, support and
enhance STEMI heart attack systems across the state.
The Iowa Mission: Lifeline EMS Equipment Grant seeks to
enhance emergency medical response to STEMI heart attack patients in
rural Iowa by funding requests for 12-lead equipment that will
increase the ability to identify STEMI patients and relay critical
medical information from the field to hospital providers. Grant
applications will be evaluated and ranked based on a number of
factors, including:
- Current 12-Lead capture and transmit capability
- Number of potential patients that could be affected by the
grant
- Need of the EMS service based on run volume, location, and
proximity to other EMS providers and hospitals
- Ability to upgrade current equipment to perform 12-lead
capture & transmission
- Requests that seek partial funding for a larger project
The grant application were released statewide in July of 2015
with awards taking place in rounds through December 2016. Round 1
awards were released in October 2015. This is the 2nd chance
application for those services that may have missed the first
opportunity. Services that have already applied do not need to
apply again. Grant dollars are available for currently
authorized Iowa ALS and BLS agencies that perform ground transport
in response to public 911 calls. Authorized, non-transport agencies
are also encouraged to apply. Maximum amount of funding awarded
to any one agency will not exceed $25,000. Amount is based on actual
expenditures – copies of invoices will be required. Not all
applications or agencies will be funded; this is a competitive
grant.
Grant Application Deadline
February 12th, 2016 at 5:00pm CST
Reminder: Services with physical addresses in the following
counties are not eligible to apply for
funding under this grant:
- Harrison County
- Mills County
- Pottawattamie County
- Guthrie County
- Dallas County
- Madison County
- Polk County
- Warren County
- Benton County
- Linn County
- Jones County
Please consider the following when applying for the EMS equipment
grant:
- If your primary ambulance is equipped with an AED only or
older monitor not capable of 12-lead, you should consider applying
for funds to purchase a monitor/defibrillator capable of 12-lead
capture and wireless transmission.
- If your primary ambulance already has a 12-lead
monitor/defibrillator, you should consider applying for funds to
upgrade/update that device to make it capable of wireless ECG
transmission.
- Devices that are only capable of 12-lead capture and
transmitting are also allowed under this grant.
- Funding will be available to hospitals in the state of Iowa to
purchase equipment/software capable of receiving 12-lead
transmissions from the field.
- Applications that request funding for factory refurbished
equipment are accepted and will be
considered.
- Applications that take into consideration any trade-in value
of existing equipment are accepted and encouraged.
- Also consider the capabilities of surrounding services and
brand(s) they use.
Mission: Lifeline considers the following a typical
configuration of a 12-lead monitor/defibrillator:
- AED/defibrillation
- 12-lead ECG acquisition and transmission
- NIBP (non-invasive blood pressure monitoring)
- SpO2 (oxygen saturation monitoring)
- EtCO2 (End-tidal carbon dioxide)
If accessories/options outside of this typical configuration are
desired for the equipment proposed in
the application, services are responsible for purchasing
additional accessories with their own funds.
Once grant awards are made and awarded agencies are notified
of their award, they will have 60 days to complete the required
paperwork, including grant agreement, or risk forfeiting grant
funds.
As part of the requirements of participation in the project, EMS
services are asked to complete a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and W-9. These do not need to be
filled out at the time of application, but will need to be completed
prior to funds being issued.
