PEMS Launches Regional Formulary Resupply Program
The Peninsulas EMS Council is pleased to announce the launch of its Regional Formulary Resupply Program for PEMS EMS Agencies. PEMS has purchased Class VI medications that can be distributed to licensed EMS agencies in the PEMS Region. This is made possible through the generous financial assistance from Sentara Cares, Riverside Health, Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters, and the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation. Participation in the PEMS Formulary Resupply program is open to all non-commercial EMS Agencies in the PEMS Region who have submitted their final accounting of Yellow PEMS Medication Kits (Box Numbers) and Black RSI Medications Kits (Box Numbers) received in both phases of the transition and their signed “Notice of Partial Withdrawal from PEMS Ambulance Restocking Agreement”.
Only persons authorized by their respective agencies may complete and submit a request to resupply Class VI medications from the PEMS Regional Formulary during the first two weeks of each month. The medications must have been used by the licensed EMS Agency or expired during the month preceding the request. Submission of a request does not guarantee receipt of the amount requested. Supplies will be distributed in a timely manner based on the availability of medications at any given time.
EMS Agencies serving as the Hub for the purchase and distribution of medications to other EMS Agencies submit the request for all of the EMS Agencies they serve. We also request that select individuals be authorized to submit requests for each EMS Agency. The individual placing the order will be asked to attest to the following: I attest that I am authorized by my agency to complete this medication resupply request on behalf of the EMS Agency indicated above and have secured appropriate approval.
The PEMS Formulary Resupply Request Form is located on the PEMS website under the Medication Kit Transition Tab at: https://peninsulas.vaems.org/medication-kit-transition/pems-agency-medication-order
