Data is a powerful asset to the EMS mission of preserving and improving Americans’ health, and that’s as true for populations as it is for individuals. ESO’s annual EMS Index distills key measures about major aspects of that from patient care data reported by ESO users.
This years’s EMS Index has now been released. Find it here.
Now in its fifth year, the 2024 ESO EMS Index is based on data from more than 12 million patient encounters across the nation that occurred in 2023. “With the insights gleaned from this Index,” the company notes, “the ESO research team hopes to give agencies benchmarks for refining their strategies toward improving patient outcomes in these areas.”
This year’s Index examines the following metrics:
- Analgesic administration for long-bone fractures.
- Stroke bundles for patients with ED-diagnosed stroke.
- Emergency intramuscular sedation.
- Ambulance patient offload times.
- Bystander CPR.
- Critical incident reporting.
- Opioid overdose.
