With more than 50% of sepsis cases transported by first responders, the time to get prehospital care right is now. Early diagnosis is the key to a successful patient outcome, but only 61% of EMS practitioners are well versed in sepsis symptoms.

To aid in spreading awareness on sepsis treatment and documentation, ESO has compiled vital recommendations on assessing and treating sepsis in a prehospital setting. You will find the following topics helpful for continued education on sepsis:

Know the Common Signs of Sepsis
Use Cost-Effective Tools for Diagnosis
Give the ED Advanced Warning
Be a Vocal Advocate for Your Patient

Enabling Faster EMS Turnaround and Improved Patient Handoff

Wed, 16 May 2018 21:45:14 +0000

Emergency departments are complex institutions with multiple working parts. Everyone within the department has a unique and vital role to play in ensuring patients receive appropriate care. One of the most critical relationships within a hospital emergency department is that between EMS and ED staff.

Without strong coordination and communication, emergency departments can miss important information needed to respond to patient conditions. To overcome these challenges, Indian River Medical Center in Florida leveraged ESO Alerting. The software allowed providers to streamline the process for incoming ambulance crews through the ability to pre-register patients.

Indian River Medical Center found these benefits using ESO Alerting:

Identifying high-need/speciality patient cases
Activating specialty teams
Digitizing patient care records
Tracking of patients and key staff via GPS functionality
And more!
