This creates variability in activation speed and situational awareness. The Task Force will discuss whether establishing a single standardized communication method for HEMS activation from the ground would reduce friction and improve outcomes.\n\nAction Item from June 9\nJenn Landis distributed this question to GEMS elected members prior to this meeting. Members are asked to share findings and perspectives for discussion today.\n \n \n\n\n\nPublic Comment — Following Discussion Item 1\nMembers of the public are invited to comment on the preceding discussion item. Comments are limited to three minutes per speaker. Direct comments to the Chair.\n \n \n \n\n\n\nClinical Criteria for HEMS Activation\nDiscussion Item 2 — Research distributed prior to meeting\n \n ▶\n \n\nThe Task Force will review a draft set of research-based clinical criteria for standardizing HEMS activation decisions in the field. The goal is a minimum standard recommendation that reduces variation and improves patient outcomes — without preventing any agency from making additions appropriate to their context.\n\nAction Item from June 9\nJenn Landis distributed a draft criteria document and research article synopses to all Task Force members prior to this meeting. Members are asked to have reviewed the materials and come prepared to discuss.\n \nResearch Supporting This Discussion\n\n\nEstablishing a Consensus-Based Definition of Air Medical Transport Need for Rural Patients After Injury\n ▶\n \n\nMethods: Expert Delphi panel — trauma surgeons\, anesthesiologists\, critical care\, emergency medicine\, and EMS — developed a consensus-based tool for air medical transport indications.\nClinical Implications: Evidence-based tool to reduce over- and under-triage. Aligns patient need with available resources in rural settings. Recommends air medical transport for injured patients who would benefit from specialized care\, clinically significant pre-hospital time savings\, or factors prohibiting appropriate ground transport.\n \n\n\n\nAppropriate and Safe Utilization of Helicopter Emergency Medical Services\n ▶\n \n\nMethods: Joint position statement from AMPA\, ACEP\, NAEMSP\, and AAEM on HEMS utilization standards.\nClinical Implications: HEMS improves survival when used appropriately: medical necessity\, evidence-based guidelines\, safety\, and integration into the EMS and healthcare system. Formal utilization guidelines are essential for proper patient selection. Protocols shorten launch time and prevent inappropriate over- or under-utilization.\n \n\n\n\nUse of Helicopters to Reduce Health Care System Delay in STEMI Patients\n ▶\n \n\nMethods: Multicenter retrospective observational study over 17 years comparing HEMS vs. ground EMS for STEMI patients. Focused on time to PCI and outcomes.\nClinical Implications: HEMS increased transports to a definitive invasive center by 52%. Enables reperfusion therapy within 120 minutes for rural patients beyond 75 km. Time savings to PCI of 14–29 minutes. Interfacility transfer is not associated with timely reperfusion — scene-to-PCI is where HEMS provides the greatest benefit.\n \n\n\n\nUse of the Autolaunch Method of Dispatching a Helicopter\n ▶\n \n\nMethods: Investigated trauma outcomes comparing autolaunch vs. traditional dispatch over two years. Criteria for autolaunch developed and tested. Medical patients excluded.\nClinical Implications: Improved outcomes: shorter ICU and hospital length of stay. Approximately 4 minutes faster. Effective when paired with clear criteria\, trained dispatchers\, and integrated EMS systems. Improved working relationships between HEMS\, ground EMS\, and law enforcement.\n \n\n\n\n\nPublic Comment — Following Discussion Item 2\nMembers of the public are invited to comment on the preceding discussion item. Comments are limited to three minutes per speaker. Direct comments to the Chair.\n \n \n \n\n\n\nDistance-Based Criteria — Deferred to July\nDiscussion Item 3 — Held for future meeting\n \n ▶\n \n\nDiscussion of distance-based criteria for HEMS activation has been deferred to the July 28 meeting to allow adequate time for the clinical criteria and communication method discussions. No action is required on this item today.\n \n\n\n\nPublic Comment — Following Discussion Item 3\nMembers of the public are invited to comment on the preceding discussion item.

Meeting agendas are typically finalized about one week before the meeting. The anticipated topics below carry forward from the June 23 meeting.\n \n \n \n\n\n\nSingular Communication Method for HEMS Activation from Ground\nDiscussion Item 1\n \n ▶\n \n\nGround EMS agencies currently contact HEMS services through a range of methods — direct radio\, dispatch relay\, phone\, and others. This creates variability in activation speed and situational awareness. The Task Force will discuss whether establishing a single standardized communication method for HEMS activation from the ground would reduce friction and improve outcomes.\n\nContinuing from June 23\nThe task force continued this discussion at the June 23 meeting. Ground EMS elected members are asked to share any additional findings and perspectives.\n \n \n\n\n\nPublic Comment — Following Discussion Item 1\nMembers of the public are invited to comment on the preceding discussion item. Comments are limited to three minutes per speaker. Direct comments to the Chair.\n \n \n \n\n\n\nClinical Criteria for HEMS Activation\nDiscussion Item 2 — Research distributed prior to meeting\n \n ▶\n \n\nThe Task Force will review a draft set of research-based clinical criteria for standardizing HEMS activation decisions in the field. The goal is a minimum standard recommendation that reduces variation and improves patient outcomes — without preventing any agency from making additions appropriate to their context.\n\nContinuing from June 23\nJenn Landis distributed a draft criteria document and research article synopses in June. Review of the draft criteria continues at this meeting.\n \nResearch Supporting This Discussion\n\n\nEstablishing a Consensus-Based Definition of Air Medical Transport Need for Rural Patients After Injury\n ▶\n \n\nMethods: Expert Delphi panel — trauma surgeons\, anesthesiologists\, critical care\, emergency medicine\, and EMS — developed a consensus-based tool for air medical transport indications.\nClinical Implications: Evidence-based tool to reduce over- and under-triage. Aligns patient need with available resources in rural settings. Recommends air medical transport for injured patients who would benefit from specialized care\, clinically significant pre-hospital time savings\, or factors prohibiting appropriate ground transport.\n \n\n\n\nAppropriate and Safe Utilization of Helicopter Emergency Medical Services\n ▶\n \n\nMethods: Joint position statement from AMPA\, ACEP\, NAEMSP\, and AAEM on HEMS utilization standards.\nClinical Implications: HEMS improves survival when used appropriately: medical necessity\, evidence-based guidelines\, safety\, and integration into the EMS and healthcare system. Formal utilization guidelines are essential for proper patient selection. Protocols shorten launch time and prevent inappropriate over- or under-utilization.\n \n\n\n\nUse of Helicopters to Reduce Health Care System Delay in STEMI Patients\n ▶\n \n\nMethods: Multicenter retrospective observational study over 17 years comparing HEMS vs. ground EMS for STEMI patients. Focused on time to PCI and outcomes.\nClinical Implications: HEMS increased transports to a definitive invasive center by 52%. Enables reperfusion therapy within 120 minutes for rural patients beyond 75 km. Time savings to PCI of 14–29 minutes. Interfacility transfer is not associated with timely reperfusion — scene-to-PCI is where HEMS provides the greatest benefit.\n \n\n\n\nUse of the Autolaunch Method of Dispatching a Helicopter\n ▶\n \n\nMethods: Investigated trauma outcomes comparing autolaunch vs. traditional dispatch over two years. Criteria for autolaunch developed and tested. Medical patients excluded.\nClinical Implications: Improved outcomes: shorter ICU and hospital length of stay. Approximately 4 minutes faster. Effective when paired with clear criteria\, trained dispatchers\, and integrated EMS systems. Improved working relationships between HEMS\, ground EMS\, and law enforcement.\n \n\n\n\n\nPublic Comment — Following Discussion Item 2\nMembers of the public are invited to comment on the preceding discussion item. Comments are limited to three minutes per speaker. Direct comments to the Chair.\n \n \n \n\n\n\nDistance-Based Criteria for HEMS Activation\nDiscussion Item 3 — Carried forward from June 23\n \n ▼\n \n\nThe task force will discuss whether distance-based criteria should be part of the HEMS activation framework\, and how distance interacts with the clinical criteria and communication method work from prior meetings. This discussion was deferred from the June 23 meeting to allow adequate time.\n \n\n\n\nPublic Comment — Following Discussion Item 3\nMembers of the public are invited to comment on the preceding discussion item. Comments are limited to three minutes per speaker. Direct comments to the Chair.\n \n \n \n\nSection III\nAdvisory Business & Look Ahead\n \n\n\n\nAgenda Items for Future Meetings\nPlanning and priorities\n \n ▼\n \n\n\nNext meeting: Tuesday\, August 25\, 2026 — 10:00 AM Mountain — Virtual Only\nNick Nudell will distribute the August meeting invite\nUpcoming reporting obligations to the Clinical and Professional Standards Committee\n\n\n \n\nAbout\nHEMS Task Force Charter\n \n\n\nPurpose\n ▼\n \n\nThe Helicopter EMS Utilization and Performance Task Force is established by NCRETAC to evaluate and improve the clinical utilization\, request processes\, data visibility\, and performance monitoring of helicopter EMS services across the region.\nThis task force provides a collaborative forum for EMS agencies\, medical directors\, dispatch partners\, trauma system stakeholders\, and air medical programs to develop a shared understanding of regional HEMS utilization and identify opportunities for system improvement. The goal is consistent\, clinically appropriate\, and data-informed use of air medical resources in alignment with patient needs\, geographic realities\, and system capacity.\n \n\n\n\nScope of Work\n ▶\n \n\nKey Focus Areas\n\nEvaluating current HEMS utilization patterns across the region\nReviewing request and activation processes\, including clinical indications\, decision pathways\, and interagency coordination\nAssessing available tracking mechanisms and data sources related to HEMS requests\, responses\, cancellations\, and outcomes\n\nSpecific Tasks\n\nReviewing regional policies\, guidelines\, and informal practices related to HEMS activation\nExamining variability in utilization and request processes across agencies or operational settings\nIdentifying gaps in data availability\, data quality\, or performance reporting\nDeveloping recommendations to improve clinical decision support\, documentation\, tracking\, and performance monitoring\nPromoting consistency\, transparency\, and shared understanding of best practices for helicopter EMS utilization\n\nPotential Deliverables\nIf interest and perceived value exist among participants\, the task force may also explore:\n\nA HEMS utilization framework describing clinical need\, operational context\, and system performance considerations\nA regional HEMS performance dashboard highlighting utilization patterns and operational indicators\nA HEMS request taxonomy to improve consistency in documenting the primary drivers of helicopter requests\nA regional HEMS utilization map illustrating request locations\, transport destinations\, and geographic access to care\nA decision-support matrix describing common clinical and operational factors considered when requesting helicopter transport\n\n\n\n\nAuthority\n ▶\n \n\n\nAuthorized by the NCRETAC Board of Directors through the Clinical and Professional Standards Committee\nMakes recommendations to the Clinical and Professional Standards Committee regarding focus areas and proposed improvements to regional practice\, data tracking\, or system performance monitoring\nThe Committee may advance recommendations to the Board for consideration as appropriate\nDoes not have authority to enter into contracts or make decisions on behalf of NCRETAC without prior Board approval\n\n\n \n\nParticipation\nGet Involved with the HEMS Task Force\n\nPhysicians\, air medical providers\, EMS agencies\, and hospital partners across Northeast Colorado are encouraged to participate\nThe Task Force meets as needed and benefits from broad regional representation across all six sectors\nDirect influence on regional air medical utilization standards\, clinical quality\, and system performance\n\n\n \n Express Interest in Participating\n \n \nQuestions?
