Which of the following is NOT found in policy 603?

The correct answer identifies that procedures for hospital staffing are not included in policy 603. Policy 603 typically focuses on operational aspects related to ambulance diversion, particularly in regard to the protocols for managing emergency medical services during times when hospitals are at capacity or otherwise unable to receive additional patients.

The policy is structured around key operational guidelines, including the management of 911 bypass, which specifies the maximum hours that ambulances can divert patients to other hospitals. Additionally, it outlines regulations regarding ambulance diversion, specifying conditions and procedures for diverting ambulances to other facilities, as well as identifying hospitals within the specific geographic areas impacted by the diversion procedures, such as those in the Northern diversion zone.

However, staffing procedures for hospitals fall under a different administrative and regulatory purview, as they relate to internal hospital management rather than the operational guidelines concerning emergency response and patient transport. Consequently, this aspect is outside the scope of what policy 603 covers, thereby making it the correct identification for what is not found within the policy.
