The best way to improve is to identify what went well and what can be improved on.
Today, #TXEMTF is hosting 60 members who served in a variety of roles during our 2020 responses. This after action review will cover 10 of the EMTF’s state mission assignments issued in 2020.
Our Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) has entered day 10 of its operations in @ElPasoTXGov at the direction of @GovAbbott and @TDEM.
The MMU remains at capacity as it continues to treat COVID-19 patients in order to free up additional hospital beds in the region.

We are proud of our #TXEMTF Infectious Disease Response Unit's (IDRU) physicians, nurses, & paramedics. The IDRU is currently the sole provider of medical care & transport for confirmed #COVID19 patients in Texas. Their training and dedication make Texas a safer place for all.
The Coronavirus is in the news and sounds scary. It is and it can be very deadly. Our friends in China are in for a rough time.
Here in Canada and the United States the greater threat is The Flu- 8000 or more will die from it.
Use proper hygiene and immunize! #coronavirus

"On 9/1, @tamusystem will welcome @TDEM as their 8th state agency. Headed by @chiefkidd the agency demonstrated why @GovAbbott and the Texas Legislature wanted @tamusystem to take on more responsibility." View the story here: https://t.co/wFCEcX4vSJ

@PMHTrauma_ALE @bryanacotton1 Unfortunately you ARE missing the context. Great talk from @veervithalaniMD at #TxNAEMSP19 on not recognizing airway, ventilation and hemodynamic destabilization & false assurance/lure of the EMS unit. Wasn't trauma focused...
