EMS Performance: NEMSQA Quality Measures- December 3, 2020
Summary: Performance measures drive practice, protocols, spending, and behaviors across healthcare. The National EMS Quality Alliance (NEMSQA) is leading the charge in development, refinement and dissemination of quality and performance measures for EMS. Working with EMS organizations, stakeholders, partners from government and industry, NEMSQA updated the EMS Compass measures to ensure their evidence-basis and make them readily deployable across the EMS community to drive quality and improvement in patient care. This program will inform you about the work of NEMSQA, how the NEMSQA measures are being implemented already, and how you can employ NEMSQA measures to improve performance in your EMS service or region.
Speakers: Michael Redlener, MD, FAEMS; President, NEMSQA Brooke Burton, NRP, FACME; Vice President, NEMSQA Jeff Jarvis, MD, MS, EMT-P, FAEMS; NEMSQA; Chair, Measure Development Committee
