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.

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.

This webinar examines the journey to Sepsis Alert implementation by MEDIC EMS and Genesis Medical Center. Explore how the hospital system approached the ambulance service to begin implementing Sepsis Alerts in the pre-hospital setting to assist in identifying and treating patients meeting sepsis criteria through protocol and alert implementation to the receiving facility. This collaborative effort through a patient safety fellowship project helps to identify and treat patients more quickly to reduce mortality rates.
