Technology to help EMS response

SA Fire Dept. EMS - GoodSAM
The San Antonio Fire Department (SAFD) began using the GoodSAM application to help manage its EMS resources.

GoodSAM is a web-based application that allows SAFD personnel to assess the patient by using the caller’s cell phone camera.  One of the benefits of GoodSAM is that the application does not require any additional equipment and can be launched from almost any smart phone.

When the patient or patient’s advocate calls 9-1-1 with a minor complaint (minor trauma, body aches, not feeling well, etc.), SAFD dispatchers can send the caller a link that requests permission to use the caller’s cell phone camera and microphone. The link is a one-time use and call-takers no longer have access to the phone once the call is disconnected.

Once the video is established, GoodSAM has Artificial Intelligence (AI) capability that provides a pulse and respiratory rate. After the evaluation, paramedic dispatchers can determine the best course of action for the patient (send an EMS unit, taxi voucher, no resources sent, etc.).

A video of the GoodSAM app can be accessed by clicking the link below.

The Benevolent Fund has announced the "Old Timers Luncheon  " this year.
The date will be the 2nd Tuesday in December, the 14th.
The Old Timers invitations have been mailed. There have been many cards that were undeliverable because of bad addresses.
The Benevolent Fund uses address labels provided by the PENSION OFFICE so if a Retiree has moved and not updated his address info with the pension office your card was returned or trashed.  RSVP IS A MUST FOR THIS EVENT .

Greg Garvelli, Benevolent Fund Secty/Treas:
FYI: The Pension Office requires that in order to update info Retired Officers and Widows "CALL IN" (210-534-3262) and talked to someone in the "Benefits Office"
in order to change any info. such as Address, Phone numbers, Marriage status etc.
The Pensioners Asso and the SAPOA cannot do this for you. Call the Pension Office.  (210-534-3262)

From: Mike Trainer, President Pensioners Asso
Subject: Sept 14 ZOOM Meeting - Officers

I want to update you on the Association’s meeting on Tuesday.
The positions of President, Treasurer, Parliamentarian and Police Corresponding Secretary were at the end of their term.

Today, the President started to call for the Nominating Committee’s creation from the floor.
 A motion was made to not appoint a Nominating Committee at this time. The reason was lack of participation online due to Covid. The motion stated that we will visit the situation every 3 months until a live meeting can be held safely. The motion was seconded and passed.

Our By-Laws state a Board member will serve in his or her position until removed by election unless they choose not too.
Current Board members stayed on.  I want to thank the Board members for your service. I have a lot of faith in their opinions.
    
    President Michael Trainer
    Vice President Bart Moczygemba
    Treasurer Charles Ricketts
    Parliamentarian Mary Holub
    Recording Secretary Earnest Gay
    Corresponding Secretary Armando Ynostrosa (Police)
    Corresponding Secretary David Perez (Fire)
    Sergeant-at-arms William Lambrides.
