MPDS will replace the current algorithm in use at twenty (20) Ambulance Communication Centres in a phased implementation approach beginning in 2022.

The Medical Advisor will work with the Ministry to authorize components of the triage algorithm system and provide ongoing Physician oversight to maintain an evidence-based triage algorithm system. Medical Advisor(s) will work with CACCs, Municipal and First Nation paramedic services and extended stakeholders within an assigned region of the Province as listed below:
