From Ed and Daniel’s podcast on EMS1.com! ------------- 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬: ‘𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐌𝐒 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬’ A coalition of EMS organizations advocates for new performance indicators that prioritize effectiveness, safety, satisfaction, equity and efficiency over traditional response times August 08, 2024 https://lnkd.in/g_rtY6uG? 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝: On July 31st, a significant shift in evaluating EMS performance metrics was heralded by the publication of a joint statement from 16 prominent EMS organizations. This initiative involves key players like the American Ambulance Association, the American College of Emergency Physicians and the International Association of EMS Chiefs. This diverse coalition seeks to redefine the key performance indicators (KPIs) for EMS systems, emphasizing metrics that are effective, safe, satisfying, equitable and efficient. https://lnkd.in/gPEKHN5E 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 Watch as Ed Bauter, MBA, MHL, NRP, FP-C, CCP-C; and Daniel Schwester, MICP, highlight the significance of this development, including: • 𝐀 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬. Historically, response times have dominated as the primary measure of EMS system quality. However, growing evidence suggests that response times alone do not correlate with improved patient outcomes. The joint statement challenges the long-held belief that faster response times equate to better patient care. • 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐬. The statement draws attention to the inherent risks associated with the use of red lights and sirens, which have been shown to increase the likelihood of collisions by up to 60%. These incidents not only endanger patients and providers but also civilians. The focus now is on using lights and sirens only when they provide a direct, demonstrable benefit to patient outcomes. • 𝐀 𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐬. This shift represents a fundamental change in EMS practice, advocating for performance indicators that reflect the quality of care provided, rather than the speed of response. The coalition’s unified stance marks a critical step towards a more comprehensive and patient-centered approach to EMS evaluation. As EMS systems nationwide begin to adopt these new metrics, the focus will likely shift towards improving the overall quality and safety of patient care. This evolution in performance measurement promises to enhance the effectiveness and reliability of EMS services, ultimately benefiting patients, providers, and communities alike.

Gigantic IT outages today because of a faulty software update from cyber-security firm CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD). Flights grounded, UK rail companies announcing delays, UK GP practises can't access their records, Sky News and CBBC are off air. Basically, everything Y2K could have been if we hadn't all done a good job. - fix is technically simple but fiddly. IT teams with large estates of Windows computers that are affected are still working out how to apply the fix at scale. For some orgs, a human visiting each physical machine may be the only remedy. - Early reporting described this as a Microsoft issue. Will be interesting to see how Microsoft comms steer this away from themselves. - It's interesting to me that the JavaScript npm package stack takes a lot of stick for being a 'house of cards' whilst 10s of millions of traditional OS machines can be taken out by one software vendor that had been allowed to ship daily, even hourly, updates to the core of the OS. Lastly... a lot of technicians, call centre staff, customer facing frontline workers are going to have a tough day. Let's all go easy on them, it's not their fault.
