Issues/Concerns with Data

• EMS– Obtaining data from source.

– Filtering to capture times; < 2

hours, etc.

– Unable to transmit 12-lead ECGs

– Possible fixes:

• Work with vendor to extract

data

• Internal QA/QI form for

sentinel call(s)

• Verbal activation

• Hospitals

– Delayed in coding of

records

– Personnel to

consolidate the data

– Possible fixes:

• Designating backup

personnel
