Based on data from more than 2,500 agencies and departments across the country and representing 11 million EMS responses between January 1, 2022-December 31, 2022, the Index helps EMS leaders answer questions such as:

• Is my organization performing similarly to other organizations around the country when it comes to best practices surrounding certain clinical presentations, such as stroke identification and assessment?
• Are we properly monitoring patients following our use of ketamine in emergent situations?
• Are we practicing judicious use of lights and siren?
• Are we above or below the national average when it comes to responding to overdose events?
• What best practices can my organization implement to help measure and address disparities in prehospital care?
• What are the best practices for each metric in this Index and how can I make sure we are following these at our organization?

Now in its sixth year, this Index not only examines the performance, but makes comparisons to the previous year’s data. ESO’s research team has designed this report to give EMS organizations a benchmark or point of reference for evaluation and improvement. This provides agencies a starting framework to continually refine strategies, increase efficiency, improve outcomes, and allocate resources appropriately.

• Are we above or below the national average when it comes to responding to overdose events?
• What best practices can my organization implement to help measure and address disparities in prehospital care?
• How can I help my organization support EMS clinicians with the knowledge and skills needed to deliver death notifications?
• How do our responses ending in non-transport compare to the national average?
• What are the best practices for each metric in this Index and how can I make sure we are following these at our organization?

Now in its fifth year, this Index not only examines the performance, but makes comparisons to the previous year’s data. Therefore, the best practices are informed by several years of data, as well as the practical, firsthand experience of seasoned medical professionals.

For the Mid-Year Index, we look at the same metrics as first half of 2021 (January 1, 2021 – June 30, 2021) to see how they compare to the 2020 numbers. Those metrics include:

• Stroke Assessment Performance
• Ketamine Administration with Weight Recorded
• Transports Without Lights and Sirens
• Non-Transport Dispositions
• Percent of Patients with Suspected Overdose
• COVID-19 and Influenza-Like Illness Impressions
• NEW – Bystander CPR

These findings are based on data from more than 2,000 agencies and departments across the country and represent 4.6 million 911 calls (out of 10.5 million total calls) between January 1, 2021 – June 30, 2021.

This Index not only examines the performance but also makes comparisons to the previous year’s data. Therefore, the best practices are informed by several years of data as well as the practical, firsthand experience of seasoned medical professionals.
