What Will We Be Discussing?
A decade ago it was common to hear EMS leaders complain about not having the data for this or that. Sometime over the last few years, the pendulum swung to the other side with folks being buried under a mountain of data. The challenge or opportunity today is deciding what’s meaningful, defining it, finding it, displaying it, and then taking action to make improvements. In this session, two leaders who spend their lives transforming piles of data into improvements that matter will share tips, tricks, and traps!
