NCDR eReports EMS - Coming in 2019!
This new reporting product provides EMS agencies with information from the Chest Pain - MI Registry on the care and outcomes of their AMI patients. Using their EMS agency’s state ID number, EMS agencies can assess their own performance along with the receiving hospital and their combined efforts as a system of care.
Features and Benefits:
- Ability to generate reports across all of the EMS agency’s destination hospitals that are participating in the CHEST PAIN - MI Registry.
- See local data compared to national aggregate values
- Snapshot or time series views
- EMS and system of care performance metrics, including:
- First Medical Contact (FMC) to first 12 lead time interval;
- First STEMI positive 12 lead to hospital notification time interval;
- Percent of STEMI cases with and without field request for cardiac catheterization lab activation;
- Symptom to device time interval;
- FMC to device time interval;
- Metrics filtered with or without cases transferred in from non-PCI hospitals or both
- Weekly data refresh

Webinar Series: EMS and Systems of Care Webinar Series – Taking Clinical Quality to the Next Level - Free webinar series to help EMS agencies, systems of care consortia (e.g., for STEMI, stroke, cardiac arrest, trauma, sepsis) and hospitals take fresh look their approaches to quality improvement in consideration of ways to elevate their impact and efficiency.
Project Teams, Charters and Senior Management: Webinar 5
Date/Time: Tuesday, September 3, 2019 at 2PM (Eastern)
Overview: Join Mic Gunderson, with moderators Tom Bouthillet and Tim Phalan, in this latest installment of the free "EMS and Systems of Care Webinar Series." In this webinar they will continue to drill down in the details of the team-based clinical quality model.
This webinar will get further into the details of the team-based clinical quality model with:
- Ad hoc improvement project teams
- The project charter document that defines work and deliverables
- The crucial role played by the senior management team
- The relationship between ad hoc project improvement teams and the clinical specialty teams that recommend their formation
After completing this module, attendees will have the information needed to write their own project charters, secure senior management team feedback and support, and make ad hoc improvement project teams an integral part of their quality programs.
Clinical Specialty Teams: Expanding Your Clinical Quality Program Capacity
Overview: Clinical Specialty Teams are small groups of staff members who share a passion for care in a clinical area, such as, cardiac arrest, STEMI, trauma, stroke, pediatrics, or airway management.
These teams are empowered by the medical director and senior management team to take responsibility for a specific clinical area by:
- Measuring quality.
- Proposing improvement and research project ideas.
- Recommending protocol, policy and equipment changes.
- Serving as subject matter experts in development of training and continuing education content.
This Webinar gives details of how to put these teams together in your EMS organization or hospital to help them thrive!
Structuring Your System for Quality
Overview: Watch Mic Gunderson, with moderators Tom Bouthillet and Tim Phalen, as they discuss strategies to improve capacity and maximize quality in your system of care. The entire EMS System, including 9-1-1 centers, non-transport medical first response agencies, ambulance services and hospitals, must modify its strategies and tactics in order to improve quality of care.
This webinar:
- Highlights some needs differences between individual organizations and systems
- Shows ways that systems can adopt different structures and tactics to their infrastructure and capabilities to improve quality and efficiency
Structuring Your Organization for Quality
Overview: This webinar introduces strategies to dramatically expand an EMS agency’s capacity to do quality improvement projects.
Often in EMS agencies the responsibility of quality improvement lies with the quality manager. One person is responsible for gathering, cleaning, analyzing, and reporting the data; as well as, resolving clinical incidents and complaints and providing education. This leaves little time for actual quality improvement projects. Join this webinar to learn some strategies to increase capacity to do quality improvement projects.
