 <![CDATA[&nbsp;
The Washington County EMS Education Program is announcing openings for
Dynamic EMS Documentation with Ryan Stark Esq.of 
Page, Wolfberg&amp;amp;Wirth. 
at WCDES Office,&nbsp;16232 Elliott Parkway Williamsport MD
May 9th 1200-1600 hours
May 9th 1800-2200 hours
May 10th 0900-1300 hours
&nbsp;
Think this is &amp;ldquo;just another documentation session?&amp;rdquo; Well, think again!&nbsp;This all new, four-hour session will open your eyes and change the way you think about EMS patient care documentation.&nbsp;Using actual legal case studies where documentation issues were center stage, this session will explore the relationship between documentation and EMS provider liability.
&nbsp;
Some may have seen this type of statement before.&nbsp;It is imperative to understand the importance of completing documentation as required by the jurisdiction.&nbsp;Documentation is defined as many things such as: professional accountability, professional credibility, and recognized as a legal document. Documentation should be considered protective equipment for you and the department.&nbsp;Documentation is to be concise and accurate, pertinent to patient information, and provides evidence of adherence or deviation of the standard of care.
&nbsp;
Ryan Stark is an associate attorney with Page, Wolfberg &amp;amp; Wirth, LLC. Ryan helps PWW clients manage a wide variety of issues including employment concerns, contractual matters, and federal and state agency oversight actions. Ryan also works closely with clients to improve and expand their compliance with various state, federal, and local laws affecting the industry. &nbsp;Closely monitoring important legislative and regulatory changes is one of Ryan&amp;rsquo;s primary duties for the firm, and he plays a big part in developing the firm&amp;rsquo;s industry alerts, compliance publications, and webinar materials. Ryan also participates as a speaker in many PWW seminars, conferences, and webinars including the firm&amp;rsquo;s signature ABC3 Conference.

 <![CDATA[A Message from Sheriff Doug Mullendore:
Friends, I wanted to make you aware of a situation that could use our gifts of kindness. On Sunday little Hope Goins went to be with our Lord. This family lost a Mom, daughter and all their belongings in this terrible fire. They did not have Life Insurance or renter's insurance so all of the funeral expenses and replacement of the furniture, clothing and personal affects must be paid for by them. ...They are not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination. 

There is a trust fund setup at Susquehanna Bank in the name of Hope Goins. If you feel the call to help this family by stopping by any branch of the Susquehanna Bank and donating it would be greatly appreciated. May God Bless you all for your generosity.
If your are not aware of the tragic fire that took place Wednesday April 18th, 2012 in the City of Hagerstown go to www.herald-mail.com to read the articles of the event.
