GOOD MEDICINE IN BAD PLACES  \nDate: February 28, 2025  \nTo:  \nThe Honorable Kevin Stitt, Governor of Oklahoma  \nThe Honorable Matt Pinnell, Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma  \nThe Honorable Charles McCall Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives The Honorable Lonnie Paxton, President Pro Tempore of the Oklahoma Senate Keith Reed, Commissioner of Health  \nMembers of the Oklahoma State Board of Health  \nSubject: Vote of No Confidence in the Leadership of the EMS and Trauma Divisions  \nGovernor Stitt, Lieutenant Governor Pinnell, Speaker McCall, President Pro Tempore Paxton, Commissioner Reed, and Members of the Oklahoma State Board of Health,  \nOn behalf of EMS agency directors across Oklahoma, we write to formally express a vote of no confidence in the leadership of the EMS and Trauma Divisions within the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) . The ongoing mismanagement, regulatory failures, and lack of accountability have jeopardized public safety, compromised emergency medical care, and created unnecessary burdens on EMS agencies throughout the state.  \nDespite multiple attempts to engage in meaningful dialogue with OSDH leadership, there remains a persistent pattern of inaction, inefficiency, and failure to fulfill statutory and regulatory obligations. The following critical issues demonstrate an alarming lack of competency and oversight:  \n1. OERSSIRF Grant Mismanagement  \nThe Oklahoma Emergency Response Systems Stabilization and Improvement Revolving Fund (OERSSIRF) grant process has been plagued by delays, inconsistent communication, and administrative inefficiencies, preventing agencies from accessing crucial funding for operational stability and patient care improvements.  \n2. Agency Licensing Failures  \nLicensing delays for EMS agencies have become routine, leading to operational uncertainty, service disruptions, and increased administrative burdens. These failures directly impact public safety by preventing agencies from providing lifesaving care.  \nDocusign Envelope ID: 512FBB99-55DE-400E-82E6-79008ADB5A59  \n3. Medic Licensing Issues  \nThe EMS licensure process for emergency medical responders and paramedics has become unpredictable, inefficient, and error-prone. Numerous professionals have received the wrong license level, further complicating agency compliance and creating risk for patients.  \nAdditionally, recertification processing times have reached unacceptable levels, worsening the ongoing workforce crisis in EMS.  \n4. Lack of Stakeholder Engagement  \nEMS agencies have been systematically excluded from decision-making processes that directly affect emergency medical services across the state. Leadership has failed to respond to concerns, disregarded input from frontline EMS professionals, and ignored solutions proposed by stakeholders to address system-wide inefficiencies.  \n5. General Administrative Failures  \nBeyond specific issues, the overall administration of EMS and trauma oversight lacks strategic vision, urgency, and competence. Regulatory and procedural mismanagement has left agencies without clear guidance, causing widespread confusion and inefficiency.  \n6. Failure to Uphold Statutory and Regulatory Requirements for Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI)  \nStatutory and regulatory mandates require Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) activities as part of the Regional Trauma Advisory Boards (RTABs) . However, these activities have been halted without explanation or alternative guidance, putting trauma victims in Oklahoma at risk. CQI programs are essential for system performance monitoring, data-driven improvements, and patient safety—yet leadership has allowed them to collapse without action.  \n7.
