Lebanon County has dedicated TalkGroups for all hospital ED to have conversations with any EMS/Amb.

I also see many regions and the Commonwealth of PA have common channels licensed:
458.025
458.075
458.125
458.175
Low-power or telemetry?

Here in Connecticut, ambulances are required to have UHF radios programmed for 20 ambulance-to-hospital MED channels, duplicated several times with different PL tones for different regions. The channels are all in the 462 MHz range and include the original set of 10 CMED frequencies assigned for EMS in the 1970s. CMED frequencies are controlled by regional comm centers across the state, including Waterbury, Norwalk, Norwich, Tolland, Hartford and Litchfield. Here's the Connecticut statute:

I stil find it strange that some parts of the country don't use MED channels at all.

while here in Spokane, WA, they do still use 155.340, in North Idaho, they have gone digital, and are in the 700 MHZ BAND

In Delaware County they usually have als on board with established protocol. In the rare event it is a bls only rig or they have say a combative patient they will ask fireboard aka dispatch to advise the er or use cell phones. Most of the emergency rooms we routinely go to have a scanner and know what's in bound to them.
In Connecticut, most hospitals want a radio asessment of patients coming in by ambulance including vital signs, some only want reports on ALS patients. Also, medics speak with E.R physicians by CMED radio when administering certain drugs more often or in larger doses than protcol; whether to call a code after a certain length of time; whether to honor a questionable DNR, whether to allow a diabetic to refuse transport after successful glucose administration; whenever Narcan is used to revive an overdose patient, and docs are always needed for incoming serious trauma calls. These transmissions are all digitally recorded at the RCC and are available for review later by the hospitals, the ambulance companies or, in some cases, the attorneys for patients. I can't believe any hospital gets information from a scanner. Seems really shoddy in this day and age.

Considering your reading skills it is hard to believe that great ems system you claim to have. Then again we all know how well that great football team you route for did this year. I never said hospitals get their patient reports from a scanner. They get them from either a recorded hospital phone line from the medics on a cell phone or in some cases a recorded call from the 911 communications center. However protocol is each transport unit announces to fire communications what hospital they are enroute to. And usually the er pays attention and has a bed all ready set up for the arriving unit. Part of what helps us have one of the top ems syems in the country.

Hmm, I see the Word "Scanner" and know what's in bound to them.
Reading is Fundamental, Comprehension is harder when someone else types info that makes it impossible to even read between the lines

BTW, if you want to begin to pick on People, they ROOT for a Team, they don't ROUTE for them
I will guess you are referencing the NY Giants, that the 1/3 of CT cheer for.

OT - Quite familiar, hence going back and making edits to a post when found [re-read it, after posting] and have disabled auto-correction
We now return us to the topic at hand of Entry Notifications by EMS

About the same time period, I had several incidences where GeoSearch returned error messages. I've found the ULS licensing portion of the FCC to be quirky sometimes. It seems that they like to take it off line randomly on weekends for maintenance.
It's a good source and GeoSearch is very helpful when it's working, but it doesn't work all the time.

How did people from Connecticut get involved in a discussion about EMS ops in Pennsylvania anyway? You do you, Connecticut. Leave us Pennsylvanians to handle our own procedures.
That said, it depends on county. I work in 4 different counties. Two of them have hospital channels on the county trunked radio systems, and two rely on cell phones. You can put the Med 1 through Med 10 channels in your scanner, but you probably won't hear much.
