How to 'hack' the data world without having a computer expert on
standby
Why the professionalization of paramedicine is important?
When will we be professionals?
How will professionalization affect the future of EMS?
11. EMS systems are complex
Managing without information is crazy!
Supply Management
Vehicle Purchase & Repair
Medications
Dispatch
CPR Classes
Human Resources
Professional Development
Narcotic Tracking
Defibrillator Upkeep
Community Involvement
Scheduling
State Licensing
13. Every EMS agency needs a PIMP!
Paramedic Information - Management Practitioner
• Paramedic Data Analyst (PDA)
• Paramedic Data Forensics (PDF)
• Paramedic Data Governance (PDG)
• Paramedic Data Integration (PDI)
• Paramedic Data Manager (PDM)
• Paramedic Data Protection (PDP)
• Paramedic Decision Support (PDS)
17. Tok Area, Alaska: 41st Largest State
• Pop est: 7,023 or 0.25 per sq/mi (0.01/km²)
• 25,059 sq/mi (64,900 km²)
• AlCan Border Crossing into USA:
• 114,996 private passengers
• 1,307 pedestrians
• 3,762 bus passengers
• 6,219 trucks
• 62,277 crossed in to Canada
• 2 physicians, 3 clinic rooms, 60 EMS

19. Adapt, Overcome, & Advance!
Nearest hospital is 203mi =
4hrs ground or 90 minutes by air
Furthest road point is border
@322mi = 6 hours to hospital
Trauma center is 3.5 hr flight after getting
to Fairbanks
26. Previvors
• Prophylactic mastectomy
= 90-95% reduction in breast cancer
• Prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy
= 90% reduction in ovarian and 50%
in breast cancer

28. Teamwork does not mean
a strict division of labor,
it means using the combined
skills and judgment of the team
to potentiate one another’s skills.
- Howard Backer, MD, MPH, FACEP
29. How do we get there?
149 million records since 2006 in National EMS Information
System national database (as of August 2017)
33. • 30 minutes per ePCR x 40 million calls = 20 million hours
• 20M x $100 = $2,000,000,000 spent on writing ePCRs
• $50 per call!
• What can be improved? Let’s:
• Better use the data to show our value to our communities
• Ask data vendors to show us the value of their services
Data entry is expensive
45. Performance Measures!
• EMS Compass 1.0 got us started in defining what should be measured
• Also developed a process to develop evidence based performance measures
in the future
• EMS Compass 2.0 is now getting started as the EMS Quality Alliance
with broad based participation. More to come!
46. What is a performance measure?
Measurement Domain
Clinical
Area
Topic
Family of Measures
Structure
Process
Outcome
Balancing
Measure Formula
Denominator Numerator =Score
47. Structure
Process
Outcome Stroke Bundle of
Care
For positive stroke
assessment,
average time from
LKW to arrival at
stroke center
Documentation
of LKW
Positive stroke
Assessments
transported to
Stroke Center
Blood Glucose for
Positive
Prehospital Stroke
Assessment
Notification of
stroke team
Suspected Stroke
Receiving
Prehospital Stroke
Assessment
Performance Measure Example: Stroke-7
Bundle of Care*
Stroke-1 Stroke-2 Stroke-3 Stroke-4
Stroke-7
Stroke-5
Stroke-6
*For illustration only. This does not represent a final measure and
may change significantly before it becomes finalized.
50. National EMS Management Association (NEMSMA) Information and
Technology Committee seeks broad participation to
Develop standard competencies and credential for Paramedic Information
Practitioners
To manage the data collection, sensemaking, knowledge building,
decision support of paramedic agencies of the future!
What Is needed?
Paramedic Information Specialists!
51. What else is needed?
Evidence!
Prehospital Guidelines Consortium identifying evidence for new
evidence based guidelines
Medical Director Council publishing new guidelines
BUT:
Need to understand implications of evidence in rural vs urban areas and ensure
the perspectives are incorporated
Rapidly disseminating new guidelines for rapid widespread adoption is critical
52. “Previvors” will become common in rural and remote areas as a
direct result of strong EMS and healthcare systems supported by
information AND technology!

Data= words, numbers, code, tables, databases. Data can be stored, copied, deleted, transmitted, & stolen. Data alone and without context, like a solitary puzzle piece, is practically worthless. Data will always change as there is always more coming in. Data is always correct – a tidbit of truth, a thing that has happened.
Information = sentences, paragraphs, equations, concepts, ideas, questions, simple stories. Information is knowledge that has used and processed certain data and has rendered it useful. Information is a snapshot of patterns found in data at a single point. Information can be wrong. Interestingness is usually taken as an overall measure of pattern value, combining validity, novelty, usefulness, and simplicity.
Knowledge = chapters, theories, axioms, conceptual frameworks, complex stories, facts = useful information. Puts information to use. Example or Case Based Methods. Probabilistic methods. Relational or Inductive learning methods
Wisdom = books, paradigms, systems, philosophies, schools of thought, poetry, belief systems, traditions, principles, truths. The body of knowledge and principles that develops within a specified society or period. The quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment.

PAST: Required symptom based “protocols” to protect physicians providing “delegated practice” to subordinates:
Designed for lowest common denominator
Some states still rely heavily and some do not
PRESENT DAY: Evidence Based Guidelines (problem based protocols)
Relies on cohorts – studies of similar conditions
Pattern recognition (similar to facial recognition)
Reactionary and works best when situations are static
