The NCRETAC Board has now asked the Clinical and Professional Standards Committee to formally convene a Helicopter EMS Utilization and Performance Task Force to continue that conversation in a collaborative way. The goal is simply to bring together clinicians\, agencies\, dispatch partners\, trauma centers\, and air medical programs to share perspectives and see whether there are opportunities to improve shared understanding\, data visibility\, and system performance across the region. If you know of others who would have valuable insight or interest in this topic\, please feel free to forward the invitation to them. Thanks for your time and for contributing your perspective to the discussion. \nFrom: Nick@ncretac.orgWhen: 10:00 – 10:30 March 24\, 2026Subject: Helicopter EMS Utilization & Performance Task Force – Kickoff MeetingLocation: Microsoft Teams Meeting \nNCRETAC Helicopter EMS Utilization & Performance Task Force – Kickoff Meeting \nThe NCRETAC Board\, through the Clinical and Professional Standards Committee\, is convening a Helicopter EMS Utilization and Performance Task Force to bring together regional partners interested in strengthening shared understanding of how air medical resources are requested and used across our system. Many of you participated in early conversations on this topic last year\, and this group provides an opportunity to continue that dialogue in a collaborative setting focused on clinical perspective\, operational realities\, and data-informed system learning. The intent is not to prescribe a single approach\, but to explore whether there are opportunities to improve transparency\, shared understanding\, and performance visibility for the benefit of patients and the regional EMS system. \nAgenda \nWelcome and Introductions \nBrief introductions and acknowledgment of the preliminary regional discussions that took place last year regarding helicopter EMS utilization. \nPurpose and Charter Overview \nOverview of the Task Force charter\, including purpose\, objectives\, scope of work\, reporting structure under the Clinical and Professional Standards Committee\, and expected deliverables. \nRegional Perspective Discussion \nOpen discussion to share perspectives on how helicopter EMS is currently utilized across the region\, including what is working well\, where variability or uncertainty may exist\, and insights from EMS agencies\, dispatch centers\, trauma partners\, and air medical programs. \nData and Information Landscape \nDiscussion of current data sources and visibility related to helicopter requests\, launches\, cancellations\, destinations\, and outcomes\, as well as potential gaps that may limit regional understanding of system performance. \nPotential Areas of Task Force Work \nIf there is interest and perceived value\, the Task Force could explore development of practical tools to support regional understanding and system improvement\, such as: \n * A simple HEMS utilization framework describing clinical need\, operational context\, and system performance considerations \n * A regional HEMS performance dashboard highlighting utilization patterns\, operational performance\, and clinical context indicators \n * A HEMS request taxonomy to improve consistency in documenting why aircraft are requested \n * A regional HEMS utilization map illustrating request locations\, destination hospitals\, and geographic access to care \n * A decision-support matrix describing factors commonly considered when requesting helicopter transport \nThese would be optional work products developed collaboratively if the Task Force believes they would be useful. \nNext Steps and Participation \nDiscussion of meeting cadence\, additional perspectives that may be helpful to include\, and opportunities for participants to share information or materials that could inform the Task Force’s work. \nClosing Reflections \n________________________________Microsoft Teams meetingJoin: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/26140065039867?p=XLlI504nab05zGvQKmMeeting ID: 261 400 650 398 67Passcode: vq6AX3tt \n________________________________NCRETAC Helicopter EMS Utilization and Performance Task Force Charter________________________________Purpose \nThe Helicopter EMS Utilization and Performance Task Force is established by the Northeast Colorado Regional EMS and Trauma Advisory Council (NCRETAC) to evaluate and improve the clinical utilization\, request processes\, data visibility\, and performance monitoring of helicopter EMS (HEMS) services across the region. \nThis task force will support consistent\, clinically appropriate\, and data-informed use of air medical resources in alignment with patient needs\, geographic realities\, and system capacity.

The Board charged the Clinical and Professional Standards Committee with examining the problem and developing practical regional guidance. \nTwo meetings have been held to date. Introductions and case review occurred in Meeting 1 (March 24\, 36 attendees). Meeting 2 (April 29\, 35 attendees) produced substantive discussion through a scenario exercise and presentation of survey results. A regional survey collected 43 responses from 24 unique agencies across 9 counties. The central finding: EMS agencies — the primary users of HEMS — rate the process at 6.2 out of 10. HEMS providers rate it at 9.5. That gap is the problem this task force exists to close. \nMeeting 3 (May 13\, 2026) will confirm the task force’s working objectives\, introduce a draft HEMS request criteria framework for regional discussion\, and formally accept data reporting commitments from HEMS providers. The literature review distributed in advance of Meeting 2 — and summarized in Section 3 of this read-ahead — provides the evidence foundation for that framework. This document contains everything a member needs to participate productively in Meeting 3. \nThe read-ahead documents are available here. Please read ahead and contact Nick Nudell at nick@ncretac.org if there are questions before the meeting:[https://res-2.df.onecdn.static.microsoft/files/fabric-cdn-prod_20251010.003/assets/item-types/16/docx.svg]HEMS_ReadAhead_May13_2026_v2.docx[https://res-2.df.onecdn.static.microsoft/files/fabric-cdn-prod_20251010.003/assets/item-types/16/docx.svg]HEMS_RequestCriteria_NCRETAC_DRAFT_v1.docx[https://res-2.df.onecdn.static.microsoft/files/fabric-cdn-prod_20251010.003/assets/item-types/16/pptx.svg]NCRETAC_HEMS_Survey_Results.pptx________________________________ \nAGENDA \n10:00 — Call to Order and Housekeeping (5 min — Jennifer Landis) Chair opens. Meeting conduct guidelines are in effect. Logistics: recording consent\, using the hand-raise function in Teams\, 2–3 minute comment limit per person. \n10:05 — Survey Results Overview (10 min — Nick Nudell) Final survey dataset: 43 responses\, 24 unique agencies\, 9 counties. Key findings include the efficiency gap between EMS agency and HEMS provider ratings\, communication and coordination issues\, activation process variability\, and liftoff time data gaps. Members who have not reviewed the survey results deck should do so before the meeting (available on the NCRETAC shared drive). \n10:15 — Confirm Task Force Objectives (5 min — Jennifer Landis) Six proposed objectives will be presented. Group is asked to confirm\, amend\, or add. These objectives will anchor the work plan and inform any grant application submitted by mid-June. \n10:20 — Draft Criteria Framework: First Discussion (20 min — Nick Nudell) Overview of the HEMS Request Criteria draft (attached). Discussion is directional — three questions only: (1) Do the 7 domains reflect how activation decisions are actually made in your area? (2) Are the No-Fly Zone thresholds appropriate for the NCRETAC region? (3) What is the most important gap to address before the group works through the document in detail? \n10:45 — Data and Provider Reporting (10 min — Nick Nudell) Formally accept Flight For Life’s offer of quarterly liftoff time data. All HEMS programs are invited to commit to the same. First submission deadline to be set. Top themes from thematic analysis of open-response survey data. \n10:50 — Next Steps and Close (5 min — Jennifer Landis) Agreed actions\, owners\, and due dates. Confirm next meeting. Adjourn by 11:00 AM. \n________________________________ \nRead-ahead package and draft criteria document are attached.

Many of you participated in early conversations on this topic last year\, and this group provides an opportunity to continue that dialogue in a collaborative setting focused on clinical perspective\, operational realities\, and data-informed system learning. The intent is not to prescribe a single approach\, but to explore whether there are opportunities to improve transparency\, shared understanding\, and performance visibility for the benefit of patients and the regional EMS system. \nAgenda \nWelcome and Introductions \nBrief introductions and acknowledgment of the preliminary regional discussions that took place last year regarding helicopter EMS utilization. \nPurpose and Charter Overview \nOverview of the Task Force charter\, including purpose\, objectives\, scope of work\, reporting structure under the Clinical and Professional Standards Committee\, and expected deliverables. \nRegional Perspective Discussion \nOpen discussion to share perspectives on how helicopter EMS is currently utilized across the region\, including what is working well\, where variability or uncertainty may exist\, and insights from EMS agencies\, dispatch centers\, trauma partners\, and air medical programs. \nData and Information Landscape \nDiscussion of current data sources and visibility related to helicopter requests\, launches\, cancellations\, destinations\, and outcomes\, as well as potential gaps that may limit regional understanding of system performance. \nPotential Areas of Task Force Work \nIf there is interest and perceived value\, the Task Force could explore development of practical tools to support regional understanding and system improvement\, such as: \n * A simple HEMS utilization framework describing clinical need\, operational context\, and system performance considerations \n * A regional HEMS performance dashboard highlighting utilization patterns\, operational performance\, and clinical context indicators \n * A HEMS request taxonomy to improve consistency in documenting why aircraft are requested \n * A regional HEMS utilization map illustrating request locations\, destination hospitals\, and geographic access to care \n * A decision-support matrix describing factors commonly considered when requesting helicopter transport \nThese would be optional work products developed collaboratively if the Task Force believes they would be useful. \nNext Steps and Participation \nDiscussion of meeting cadence\, additional perspectives that may be helpful to include\, and opportunities for participants to share information or materials that could inform the Task Force’s work. \nClosing Reflections \n________________________________Microsoft Teams meetingJoin: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/26140065039867?p=XLlI504nab05zGvQKmMeeting ID: 261 400 650 398 67Passcode: vq6AX3tt \n________________________________NCRETAC Helicopter EMS Utilization and Performance Task Force Charter________________________________Purpose \nThe Helicopter EMS Utilization and Performance Task Force is established by the Northeast Colorado Regional EMS and Trauma Advisory Council (NCRETAC) to evaluate and improve the clinical utilization\, request processes\, data visibility\, and performance monitoring of helicopter EMS (HEMS) services across the region. \nThis task force will support consistent\, clinically appropriate\, and data-informed use of air medical resources in alignment with patient needs\, geographic realities\, and system capacity.
