Moraga Orinda Fire District (MOFD) Fire Chief Randy Bradley recently introduced to the Board the district's new Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Nurse/Coordinator, Greg Kennedy.
Kennedy's responsibilities will include providing a prospective analysis of MOFD's EMS System and a retrospective analysis of individual EMS incidents. In Bradley's staff report, he said that Kennedy will identify personnel strengths and weaknesses, and participate in assessments and provide targeted training.
"We are always evaluating processes and employee performance to identify areas to improve our overall service levels," said Bradley. "Kennedy's education, reputation with the County, and his familiarity with the MOFD and county EMS processes and protocols makes him the best candidate for the job."
According to Bradley, the position was restructured to become part-time, with a number of the previous CQI responsibilities being integrated throughout the MOFD staff. He said that this will allow the District to maintain the same level of service while saving money.
Kennedy currently also works with the Contra Costa Fire District, holding a similar position. Bradley noted that Kennedy has a flexible work schedule at the Contra Costa Fire District which will allow him to spend one day each week at MOFD.
Along with working at the Contra Costa Fire District, Williams has been a Registered nurse for 20 years, served as a medic in the Air Force for seven years, was a Mobile Intensive Care Nurse for 11 years, and is a reserve firefighter.
