Know what’s happening in national EMS data to assess, compare, and intervene. Take a look at some of our work in EMS care, motor vehicle crash incidence, and workforce dynamics!

[ImageTrend @ImageTrend_LLC]

🚨 New research! 🚨

Uncover impactful EMS trends:
👉 Trauma care pain scores missing in 1/3 of cases
👉 Behavioral health calls underrecognized by dispatch 80% of the time
👉 Workforce exit rates up to 26% in some states

@ImageTrend_LLC Collaborate was designed with the intent to provide EMS clinicians and stakeholders data that would represent national trends. This peer-reviewed study shows the truth of that intent. Don't take my word for it, take a look for yourself!

[ImageTrend @ImageTrend_LLC]

🚨 Peer-reviewed study confirms it: ImageTrend Collaborate mirrors national EMS trends & is one of the most representative datasets available today.

Using national EMS data, we observed over 900 additional obstetric-related emergency activations in the first three months following the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision. The majority of this increase occurred in states with protective abortion policies.

What airway is dominant among prehospital out of cardiac arrests?

@gagecb3 uses multiple prehospital datasets to tackle this question in @JAMANetworkOpen, take a look!

[JAMA Network Open @JAMANetworkOpen]

This study of 1.7M adult OHCA cases using NEMSIS data confirms that ETI remains the dominant airway strategy, 2018-2023, contrasting prior findings from smaller datasets. https://t.co/GdW9il8o38 @gagecb3

Excited to announce that this week I joined @ImageTrend_LLC as an EMS researcher and Epidemiologist!

The past 4+ years at the @NREMT has been incredible and I owe so much to both the organization and the mentorship of @AshPanchalMD.

Excited for the future!

[National Registry of EMTs @NREMT]

Our team is at NAEMSP presenting the latest information from a variety of EMS Research. We hope you've had the opportunity to meet and talk with them if you are in San Diego for the conference.

We really need to improve gender and racial gaps in EMT and paramedics.

Haven’t moved the needle over the past year.

80-90% white and ~80% male

How is your system?

New clinical judgment research from @NREMT!

How do the constructs of clinical judgment, leadership, and communication relate in EMS care? We got together a group of EMS subject matter experts to explore this idea, take a look if interested!

Infant mortality increased for several months after the Dobbs decision in the US, which overturned the constitutional right to abortion. https://t.co/GzwS2Z6v9F

New prehospital naloxone research!

[Christopher Gage @gagecb3]

New study using @NEMSIS data in @JAMANetworkOpen explores layperson-administered naloxone (LAN) trends during EMS activations from 2020-2022. Results reveal a 43.5% increase in LAN use! @NREMT @OhioStateMed @jreadyp @henrywangmd @AshPanchalMD https://t.co/J5lwbWegUp

@ProdigyEMS @NREMT @medicmindset @gateshil @maiadorsett @UKROBL1 @OhioState @drmackey1 Thanks for THE talk!

[Jonathan Powell @jreadyp]

Excited to join @MedicMike05 and talk about EMS educational program resources!

[Prodigy EMS @ProdigyEMS]

New #podcast! How involved in education is your medical director of the paramedic program? Authors @MedicMike05 & @jreadyp discuss "Medical Directors, Facilities, & Finances: Resource Deficiencies in Accredited Paramedic Programs." @NAEMSPJournal @UKROBL1 https://t.co/WbAl7zoJkt

[Jonathan Powell @jreadyp]

@MedicMike05 @AshPanchalMD So happy to see this through with you!

[Jeff Jarvis @DrJeffJarvis]

I’d like to wish everyone a happy National Waveform-EtCO2-is-the-Standard-of-Care-for-Airway-Placement-Confirmation-and-Monitoring Day”!

And, yes, this is a thing. I should know because I just deemed it so. And @QualityEms and the thinks it’s a great idea.

So Happy Day, y’all!

[Jonathan Powell @jreadyp]

Interested in a multi-state evaluation of those who entered, stayed, and left the EMS patient care workforce over a 2 year period? @JordanDKurthPhD has that and more here!

[Jonathan Powell @jreadyp]

It was exciting to work with Dr. Melnyk and her @OSUWexMed CATALYST team on this project. Thankful to Dr. Melnyk, @mcalearney, Dr. Di Tosto, and @AshPanchalMD for all their work.

New EMS workforce conflict research using @NREMT data!

In this analysis, Dr. Halia Melnyk evaluated 674 EMS clinicians’ descriptions of conflict exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Open Access: https://t.co/tH7bgfNjxp

More below! (1/5)

[Jonathan Powell @jreadyp]

While a single source of conflict to intervene upon would be desirable, it is not practical. Active surveillance of EMS clinicians during public health emergencies may provide stakeholders with real-time data to design interventions to combat increased occupational stress.
