NAEMT Releases Report on EMS ePCR Usability

NAEMT is pleased to provide a new report that details the results of a national survey on how EMS practitioners interface with the software systems they use on a day-to-day basis to collect and store patient information.

The "National Survey on EMS ePCR Usability" was created at the request of NAEMT and conducted by Dr. Alexander Garza, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Surgery, St. Louis University College for Public Health and Social Justice.

In 2016, NAEMT published a national survey on data use, collection and exchange in EMS which looked at what data EMS collects, how agencies put it to use in assessing the quality of patient care and improving operations, and who EMS shares the information with. The results of that survey were published in July.

This latest survey, conducted by St. Louis University College for Public Health and Social Justice on behalf of NAEMT, looks specifically at how EMS practitioners interface with the software systems they use on a day-to-day basis to collect and store information.
