The EMS industry is experiencing a period of profound change and opportunity. COVID-19 has created new pressure to improve operational efficiency and accelerate the revenue cycle. At the same time, ET3 offers the promise of new revenue streams and value to the communities you serve.

In this complex environment, health information exchange (HIE) between partners is becoming essential for improving patient outcomes, increasing organizational efficiencies and recovering as much revenue as possible. But the old way of doing things – paper, fax, phone calls – doesn’t provide the speed or data integrity necessary for true interoperability and collaboration.

Dr. Michael Dailey and Michelle Kobayashi, RN, BSN, MSN, MBA; will present “Pre-Hospital Data Exchange in the Trenches,” a webinar sponsored by ZOLL Data Systems and Fitch & Associates, on Tuesday, June 16, at 1 p.m. CDT.
