In the event that two or more AMU Responders are identified as being equal in terms of being geographically closest, in terms of estimated total flight time, to the accident or trauma scene, and one of the AMU Responders is NorthSTAR or SouthSTAR, then NorthSTAR or SouthSTAR, as appropriate, shall be deemed to be the geographically closest AMU Responder and shall be the first
5 A CONAWAY AMU Responder contacted by the central communications center. e. Once an AMU Responder is dispatched to the accident or trauma scene, the central communications center shall document the time of AMU dispatch, and the AMU Responder shall notify the central communications center upon its arrival at the scene.

An AMU Responder shall not charge an uninsured patient an amount for AMU services that exceeds the amount reimbursed by the federal Medicare program established pursuant to Title XVIII of the federal Social Security Act, Pub.L.- ( U.S.C. s. et seq.), for those services. g. All documentation required pursuant to this section shall be maintained by the central communications center for a period of no less than two years and shall be made available to the public upon request.. The Commissioner of Health and Senior Services, pursuant to the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L., c.0 (C.:B- et seq.), shall adopt rules and regulations to effectuate the purposes of this act.. This act shall take effect on the 0th day from the date of enactment, but the Commissioner of Health and Senior Services may take such anticipatory administrative action in advance thereof as shall be necessary for the implementation of this act. STATEMENT This bill improves the current air ambulance dispatch system in New Jersey by requiring the utilization of a global positioning system to identify and locate the closest available licensed air ambulance service, and by establishing dispatch procedures that ensure the most timely response to the scene of an accident or trauma. Currently, New Jersey s emergency dispatch system for air ambulance services limits initial dispatch to one of two Statedesignated air ambulance units, NorthSTAR and SouthSTAR. This bill would allow other licensed air ambulance providers to respond to the scene of an accident or trauma, so that accident and trauma victims requiring air ambulance transport can access this service in the most timely manner possible.
6 A CONAWAY When New Jersey s emergency air ambulance program (JEMSTAR) was created in, emergency medical transportation services were lacking, particularly in rural areas. As noted in the Statement to Assembly Bill No. 0 of, which was enacted as P.L., c.0 (C.:K- et seq.), JEMSTAR was intended to provide a cost-effective emergency medical transportation service to residents of rural areas where mobile intensive care services are not available and for accident victims and critically ill persons for whom this service would be more appropriate than conventional ground transportation. The emergency medical service landscape in New Jersey was vastly different in than it is today. In, no air ambulance services were licensed to operate in New Jersey, adequate mobile intensive care unit services provided by ground ambulance were lacking in certain areas of the State, and only two New Jersey hospitals provided acute trauma services. Today, 0 New Jersey hospitals, which are geographically dispersed throughout the State, are licensed by the Department of Health and Senior Services to provide definitive trauma care, regardless of the severity of the injury as Level I or Level II trauma centers, and there are mobile intensive care unit programs operating in 0 counties. When an accident or trauma victim requires emergency medical transportation by way of air ambulance service, the current protocol requires that NorthSTAR or SouthSTAR be called by the central communications center. Only when one of these two designated air ambulance services refuses the dispatch (either at the time of initial contact by the central communications center or at some time subsequent to an initial acceptance of the dispatch) does the dispatch system permit another licensed air ambulance service provider to respond. Valuable minutes can be lost because the current dispatch system fails to call upon the geographically closest, most-immediately available licensed air ambulance service. Thus, the current dispatch system jeopardizes the health and safety of accident and trauma victims whose outcomes or lives may depend upon getting transport to a trauma center as quickly as possible. The New Jersey Emergency Medical Service Helicopter Response Program Fund was established under section of P.L., c. (C.:K-.) to provide a dedicated funding source administered by the State Treasurer to support the reasonable and necessary expenses of JEMSTAR, and requires the Commissioner of Health and Senior Services to report, to the Joint Budget Oversight Committee and the Senate and Assembly standing reference committees on health, cost analyses concerning JEMSTAR activities, including the number of flights, types of accidents, hours spent waiting at accident sites, and fuel and maintenance expenses. A report to the Joint Budget Oversight Committee for the period from January, 00 through June 0, 00 was issued in August
7 A CONAWAY of 00, and set forth Average PreHospital Mission Waiting Times for NorthSTAR and SouthSTAR of minutes for Not Entrapped trauma victims and minutes for Entrapped trauma victims, but did not specify whether these average waiting times are measured from the time of the initial trauma to the arrival of NorthSTAR or SouthSTAR on the scene, from the time of dispatch of NorthSTAR or SouthSTAR to arrival at the scene, or from the time of arrival at the scene to successful transport to the appropriate trauma facility. The goal in trauma care is to get seriously injured patients to an appropriate level trauma center for diagnosis, critical care, and surgical treatment within the Golden Hour (the first hour immediately following an accident or trauma), and to get the seriously injured patient into an appropriate trauma center with an experienced team of specialized trauma physicians and surgeons within the Golden Hour requires a highly efficient and effective trauma care system. Additionally, ensuring that patients receive appropriate trauma care within the Golden Hour requires identification and documentation of the following time periods: ()the time between crash occurrence and notification of an emergency medical service; () the travel time to the crash scene by the emergency medical service following notification; () the time spent by the emergency medical service at the scene in rescue activities and the initiation of pre-hospital care; () the time between crash occurrence and notification of the centralized dispatch center for dispatching NorthSTAR or SouthSTAR, if required; () the time between the dispatch of NorthSTAR or SouthSTAR and arrival at the accident scene; () the time spent by NorthSTAR or SouthSTAR at the scene in loading the patient onto the air ambulance unit; () the time required to travel from the accident or trauma scene to the trauma center, and () the time spent at the trauma center unloading the patient and admitting the patient to the emergency department at the trauma center. Finally, the American College of Emergency Physicians has stated that, whenever possible, the time a trauma victim spends at the scene of an accident should be limited to 0 minutes or less. Therefore, this bill seeks to improve the quality of trauma care services to critically injured victims in New Jersey, not only by creating a more efficient and effective dispatch system, but by tracking and monitoring segments or response times in order to identify future system improvements.
