Your largest payer just sent you an email asking to start an Alternate Payment Model (APM) with you in which they pay you for the response, as opposed to the transport. They are offering to pay you 75% of the Usual, Customary and Reasonable (UCR) payment for a transport. Do you take the deal or not? Knowing your High-Performance/High-Value financial metrics like cost and revenue per response, per unit hour, and per transport are crucial. Further, changing payer mixes, payer policies and evolving service lines add to financial complexities. This webinar will focus on the development, tracking, and evaluation of the key financial performance metrics that will prepare you for the dynamic changes occurring in the EMS industry.

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), Stroke is the 5th leading cause of death in the United States. On average, there is a reported Stroke every 40 seconds in our nation. EMS has a pivotal role in the Chain of Survival, but what if there was a resource available to every EMS system that could help with Strokes? If you guessed the First First Responder (Dispatchers), you would be right. They are an untapped resource with valuable information to pass along to the many personnel in the Chain.
Join us for this informative webinar with AIMHI Education Committee members and learn how one system brought Emergency Medical Dispatchers (EMDs) into the treatment plan. Hear from Chuck Gipson and Wayne Harbour how using High-Performance High-Value Clinical Outcome Measures can change the way EMDs, field medics, and Stroke Teams work together to combat Strokes.

How good is your EMS system at achieving reliable outcomes for complying with a STEMI, Stroke or Trauma clinical bundle?
What is your average task time and how does it relate to an effective unit hour utilization?
Do you know your key financial metrics such as revenue and expense per unit hour, per call, and per transport?
AIMHI and FirstWatch are conducting a series of webinars that will provide insights into the clinical, operational and fiscal metrics that demonstrate how AIMHI member EMS systems achieve high performance/high value, and more importantly, keys to implementing quality and performance improvement methods in your system to possibly achieve comparable results.
The first webinar in the series, “Introduction to High Performance/High Value Outcome Metrics from the AIMHI Benchmarking Survey” will be held on Monday, February 24th at 1p ET, 12n CT, 10a PT. Your presenters will be:
AIMHI benchmarking studies perform a fundamental service to EMS leaders and local policy makers by providing information about the hallmarks of High Performance/High Value EMS (HPHVEMS) systems. AIMHI’s goal in releasing this information is to ensure the progress and growth EMS systems, and expand the reputation and efficiency of EMS nationally and internationally.

The world is becoming more focused on data, and sometimes it feels we gather data but don’t get the results we want. Data is a language all on its own – a language we must master in order to understand what the data is telling us. Transitioning data into useable information takes practice, just like learning a new language. This session will present several real-world case studies that demonstrate how to create a team focused culture that transitions data into business intelligence, business intelligence into strategy, and strategy into results.
Just as sports teams use data to build teams and win, we can do the same thing in EMS. However, when we win, our patients win.

Mack was born in Memphis, Tennessee on August 6, 1965. That year, the Beatles released four albums, one of which was “Help”. Maybe that’s why Mack ended up in a profession centered on “Help”-ing people!
Mack has been involved in EMS for 35 years. His EMS career began in the summer of 1983 when he attained his EMT Certification in Quitman, Arkansas, where he grew up. Mack joined the Quitman Volunteer Fire Department, where he volunteered for the ambulance service. Since then, he has worked as a Dispatcher, EMT, Paramedic, and Flight Medic. He also served as the Operations Director for one of the largest private ambulance services in Arkansas.
He is currently the Quality Manager at Metro EMS (MEMS) where he is responsible for ensuring its 387 FTEs deliver quality service to every patient. MEMS will exceed a response volume of 100,000 requests this year.
Mack's mobile healthcare experience spans all EMS provider types including volunteer, hospital-based, public utility model, private, and air medical.
Mack has served as board member and held many positions on Arkansas EMS associations, the Arkansas Ambulance Association, and numerous advisory boards and committees. He is the hospital liaison for MEMS and serves on Sepsis, STEMI, Stroke and Trauma committees at the hospitals in the MEMS service area.
He obtained an Associate of Science in EMS from UAMS in 1998, a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Chemistry from UALR in 1992, and a Master of Health Administration from Webster University in Little Rock.
Mack is married to Tina, who works at Acxiom, and they have 4 children.
