On Friday, April 24, 2020, atFDIC International2020 in Indianapolis, Indiana, from 8:30 a.m.-10:15 a.m., join Mike McEvoy as he focuses on best practices and resources for modern day EMS performance measurement, required data, analyses, feedback, and nonadversarial methods of providing fire and EMS members the information they need to continuously improve performance.
Quality Improvement (QI) should be a systematic, formal process of analyzing practice to improve performance. No firefighter or medic comes into work thinking, “I’m going to kill a patient today.” Yet, many QI processes have been weaponized, treating members as though they simply can do no right.
