Hospital-based EMS

My facility is in the process of starting its own EMS department, mostly for intra-system transports and discharges to SNF or residences. They want to have glucometers for the ambulances and I want to make sure we have everything done appropriately. Those who have similar setups at your facilities, does the EMS "department" have its own CLIA or does it fall under ER's? Does anyone have any suggestions or advice to help the POC aspect of this get started smoothly?

We have this and we got them their own waived CLIA.  Best decision ever.
