AWARE Notification Pilot Effective September 2, 2026

On September 2 at 0800, the ImageTrend, Pulsara, and TigerConnect prehospital notification pilot programs will conclude. We appreciate the enthusiastic participation of our hospital and prehospital stakeholders. Your engagement, flexibility, and thoughtful feedback have been essential to inform next steps in the EMS Delivery System Redesign.

A new countywide Direct-to-Receiving Hospital Radio Notification Pilot program will begin September 2. Please take a moment to review the EMS Delivery System Redesign Prehospital Notification Pilot Program Transition memo that further describes this system change. This memo provides job aids for hospitals and EMS agencies as well as specific requirements for Base Hospital contact during the pilot program. This pilot also applies to EMS agencies performing BLS interfacility transports and personnel should provide direct notification to the receiving hospital.

Weekly pilot participant meetings are being held to share pilot updates and gather stakeholder feedback:

Based on feedback from the August 19 meeting, the following materials were revised to help with training on the AWARE prehospital notification format:

• EMS Delivery System Redesign Prehospital Notification Pilot Program Transition Memo
• Frequently Asked Questions
