As a mobile healthcare provider, MedStar is one of only 155 EMS agencies in the country that believe we should hold ourselves accountable for patient experience the same way the rest of the healthcare system does – using an outside agency and pure data collection methods. These innovative agencies have chosen to use the EMS Survey Team (EMSST) and follow the same process as the rest of the healthcare system. Monthly, MedStar uploads all our emergency patient data for that month to a secure EMSST server. The EMSST then uses a computer algorithm to select a representative sample of patients to contact and conduct a patient experience survey.
Key Performance Metrics
The results from these surveys are then analyzed and provided in a detailed report each month. MedStar never sends or receives the actual survey data, it is a completely external process.
Our data is not only reported monthly as an individual agency, but as a quarterly roll-up compared to all similar EMS agencies in the data base.
MedStar’s EMSST monthly and quarterly reports are available below.
We are exceptionally proud of all our Team members for these amazing accomplishments!!
As a further commitment to patient experience metrics, MedStar authored an article in the Journal of Emergency Medical Services (JEMS) on the subject and have presented nationally on this topic.
