Description: Media reports of individual patient outcomes have focused on specific EMS interventions without the benefit of the larger context. The power of integrated data — from dispatch to discharge — allows for a much more accurate and complete analysis. Join this interactive session with Dr. Myers and Dr. Crowe to learn how linked EMS and hospital data have been used to predict outcomes for EMS patients, add context to national conversations around treatments like ketamine, and monitor epidemiological trends.
Learning Objectives:
Discuss the importance of evaluating treatments and trends within the context of prehospital and hospital data.
Describe the association of prehospital patient characteristics with hospital outcomes.
List 2 examples of topics where EMS data has influenced national conversations.
