The December 2019 issue of the Maine EMS QI Newsletter is available (PDF).
- The QI Committee wanted to examine a patient care intervention that pertains to all care levels.
- The data in this newsletter is based on over 184,000 911 incidents that were queried from MEFIRS.
- The QI committee compared the number of times oxygen was administered to patients to the number of times O2 administration is potentially called for in the Maine EMS Protocols.
- The QI committee used the data to put together some strong provider take-away points for providers and service leaders to discuss and consider in their patient care efforts.
