Check out our newest podcast. Sepsis and the unwary EMS provider. Many providers miss the opportunity to identify and treat sepsis patients. Especially when the presentation is similar to some other possible causes. Is your CQI process on the lookout for these missed opportunities?
While not sexy, sepsis is a common and potentially life-threatening condition. Do your field providers understand sepsis and does your CQI process recognize missed sepsis treatment opportunities? In this episode, Paul and Kevin discuss the challenges providers have in recognizing and treating sepsis, and what CQI managers need to be on the lookout for to prevent negative patient outcomes.

G&A is now in Pennsylvania! We continue to see a great deal of interest in our EMS CQI programs from around the country. A few years ago many EMS agencies did not give a lot of thought to their CQI programs. I am happy to say that interest has soared in the past couple of years and many more agencies are starting to invest in their patient care. The G&A Way podcast has seen several thousand downloads in just over a year of podcasting. You can hear the podcast at https://lnkd.in/eeGeWEYD.

Bad patient care and customer service don’t usually happen in a vacuum. Can your CQI program identify and predict provider behaviors that may land your organization on the evening news? In this episode Paul and Kevin discuss how CQI can help prevent high visibility incidents and how your CQI program can be a leading indicator for such preventable behaviors.
