Appendix B Appendix B: Planning Summary A multidisciplinary of EMS stakeholders met several times over the past two years to complete this plan. This plan began in October of 2013 as a multifaceted strategic plan with numerous goals and objectives that were difficult to measure and improve upon. No action was taken on the plan until it was revisited in January of 2016. It was agreed upon by the Department and the EMS Advisory Council to revise the current strategic plan using relevant goals and measurable objectives that aligned with other public health initiatives. This resulted in a collaborative product between the Florida EMS Advisory Council, the Florida Department of Health, and EMS stakeholders. The following is the EMS State Plan Schedule of Meetings and Events: meeting Date Meeting Topic July 2014 Draft EMS Advisory Council Strategic Plan was finalized by the council January 2016 Revision concept was presented to the EMS Advisory Council and approved March 3, 2016 Initial State Plan Coordinator Meeting April 15, 2016 EMS State Plan Toolkit and Environment Scan completed April 15, 2016 Review and environmental scan comment period began May 2, 2016 State Plan Coordinator Meeting May 4, 2016 - May 5, 2016 EMS State Planning Summit June 1, 2016 Environmental scan closed and final drafting period began June 6, 2016 draft delivered to the EMS Advisory Council for review June 6, 2016 Comment period began July 14, 2016 EMS Advisory Council vote for approval Sept 22, 2016 DOH approval Sept 22, 2016 Publish final document Oct 18, 2016 Training session on EMS State Plan Reporting Tools and Action Plans The first step in revising the current strategic plan was to use data from previous strategic planning efforts, as well as environmental scan results and other data sources, to develop measurable goals. Next, the Department created the EMS State Plan Toolkit. The toolkit includes a strategy map, which illustrates the alignment of the revised EMS State Plan goals, strategies, and objectives with other national and state public health initiatives such as, Healthy People 2020, the Florida State Health Improvement Plan, and the Agency’s Strategic Plan. Lastly, strategic planning coordinators worked with constituent groups and other EMS stakeholders during the State Planning Summit to
