SYSTEM ENTRYAll EMS Providers (EMT, Paramedic, Intermediate, PHRN) who are operating on Will/Grundy EMS vehicles must be members of the Will/Grundy EMS System. Providers are not allowed to function in any EMS capacity in this System without approval from the System office. Once the System entrance process is complete a provider will receive a 4-digit System Number. Also please note that an EMS provider must possess a current and valid State of Illinois EMT License in order to function in the State of Illinois. National Registry certifications alone are not sufficient. Providers who wish to change their primary EMS System status must do so by faxing a letter (signed and dated) to 815-740-7917. Your agency EMS Coordinator may NOT make this change. This letter must come directly from the EMS provider, include a return phone number in case of questions, and state the System name you are changing to primary, and to secondary. If you are switching into another System as primary you must state if you plan to stay with Will/Grundy and if so with which one of our agencies.
Providers who wish to join the Will/Grundy EMS System should contact the EMS Coordinator of the Will/Grundy Agency they wish to join. That Agency EMS Coordinator will then file the appropriate System entry paperwork with the System office. Any EMS provider joining this System must successfully complete the SMO test for their level. You may use the study guides on the Polices/SMO Page to prepare for the SMO test. There is currently no ILS SMO Study Guide.
To request a Letter of Good Standing from Will/Grundy EMS in order to enter another EMS System, please do so in writing and be sure to include ALL of the following... 1. Print your full name and current home address for file reference. 2. Your request letter may be typed or hand written, but MUST be signed and dated. The request must state "I am requesting a letter of good standing to enter _____ System". 3. State the full name and fax number of the System (not agency) you plan to enter. 4. State "I am going into _____ System as primary or secondary". If primary you must also state "I plan to stay in Will/Grundy with _____ agency" (state the Will/Grundy agency) OR state "I am dropping Will/Grundy since I will no longer work for one of its agencies" 5. You may also ask for your SMO date/score to be included in your good standing letter. 6. Include a phone number you can be reached at (preferably a cell phone number) should our office have any questions regarding your request. Fax this letter of request to our office at 815-740-7917, allowing 3 business days for processing. Once the letter is prepared it will be faxed directly to the EMS System you are entering. Contact Marilyn MacBlane at 815-740-7130 # 2 if further information is needed.
The following forms are for Agency EMS Coordinator use only: EMT-Basic System Entry Agency Form Letter EMT-P, EMT-I, PHRN System Entry Policy EMT-P, EMT-I, PHRN System Entry Checklist The Agency Form Letter (above) is no longer necessary for EMT-P, I, or PHRN System Entry because the Checklist (above) contains the same information and now requires the EMS Coordinator's signature.
