Administrative Rule 325.22206, Rule 207(5) allows for a Medical Control Authority to establish an emergency protocol necessary to preserve the health or safety of individuals within its region in response to a present medical emergency or disaster in accordance with section 20919 (3)(e) of the code.

Due to the current medication shortages we are experiencing we have developed an emergency protocol for all MCAs to adopt.  This protocol allows for MCAs to amend the medication selections in their protocols that are affected by the shortages.  MCAs should submit this protocol as soon as possible, either by fax (517) 241-9458 or send electronically to Linda Nesbitt at NesbittL@michigan.gov  to implement.   Emergency protocols are in effect for 60 days, unless otherwise approved by the Department.
