<p>How can cardiac arrest data be used to create quality education for EMS clinicians? In this episode, hosts Maia Dorsett, Rob Lawrence and Hilary Gates are joined by quality improvement experts Kerby Johnson, Clinical Quality Research Coordinator for the Office of the Medical Director at Fort Worth Fire Department EMS, and paramedic Kevin Gustina from Perinton EMS to explore how systems can use data to drive smarter education and better cardiac arrest outcomes.</p> <p>From the power of the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) to monitor-level insights and process measures, the group discusses how agencies—large and small—can turn performance data into meaningful training. They share real-world lessons, down to the seemingly small tweaks, on improving time to first shock, high-quality CPR and team-based resuscitation.</p> <p>The conversation highlights how looking at your data and being purposeful about simulation and team practice can transform teams. Because in resuscitation, neurologically-intact outcomes is what matters.</p> <p>Ginger Locke highlights the episode's key points with her "Mindset Minute."</p> <p>Mentioned in the episode:</p> <p>CARES <a href="https://mycares.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://mycares.net/</a></p> <p>Utstein Guidelines <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S030095722100126X" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S030095722100126X</a></p> <p>Mechanical Chest Compression Research <a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8328162/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8328162/</a></p> <p>The EMS Educator is published on the first Friday of every month!
