How successfully has EMS proven its value—as defined by the people who pay for our services? The answer to that question is crucial as the healthcare system continues its rapid transformation to economic models based on value. This informational, and at times controversial, webinar will guide participants through examples of the healthcare finance value transformation, illustrate the recent publications that seem challenge the value of the current EMS economic model, and highlight ways EMS can change and tailor the value proposition to our most important stakeholders.
This presentation also includes new operational considerations for the CMS Emergency Triage, Treat, and Transport (ET3) Model program based on the recently released Request for Applications.
This webinar is co-hosted by NAEMT.

People are our most valuable resource. How do we design and operationalize our systems to be patient-focused in quality, performance and value, while simultaneously ensuring that the people-focus is not lost or taken for granted.
The concept of the "quadruple aim" has been coined to suggests that a better experience for the provider not only helps prevent burnout and other issues, but also typically leads to better patient experience of care and improved outcome.
This webinar will introduce the context of the original Institute for Healthcare Improvement Triple Aim and how these tenets, when applied within a Mobile Integrated Health based system, have a direct impact on the well-being of people working within the organization. This well-being includes key factors of provider physical and mental wellness and how these are directly linked to the delivery of quality care, workplace engagement and acceptance to change.
The issue of psychological wellness and how organizations are committing to the implementation of programs and activities to ensure optimal provider health will also be discussed.
The session agenda will provide participants with the ability to hear from international EMS leaders and their experiences related to Provider Mental Health.
