The process in detail

Once the EMS Service has met the criteria they can begin to follow a simple and fair process to join the awards program. If any of the inclusion criteria is not met by the EMS Services, they can contact their local Angels to assist to put in place.

Register

Their first task is to register with the RES-Q Registry. This helps ensure that all participants are benchmarked against the same criteria.

Data

The EMS Angels Awards spreadsheet is provided to local EMS companies or services. This will be used to standardise the data and to ensure that patient level data is not shared outside of the organisation.

Reports

The EMS Service creates a standardised report that extracts the relevant data from their existing systems. At the end of each quarter they can then export the bulk data from their systems using this report and simply paste the data into the EMS Awards Spreadsheet.

30 Patients

In order to qualify for an award, the data should cover at least 30 consecutive stroke patients in any one quarter.

Awards

The spreadsheet then automatically calculates the Regional EMS Service's award status according to the ESO Angels Award Criteria. It also provides some important visualisations which can be used by EMS services to easily identify areas for improvement.

Secure

To ensure data security and patient anonymity, only the cumulative data from the EMS Service - as calculated by the EMS Awards Spreadsheet - is captured on the RES-Q platform. RES-Q will use this cumulative data to start the awards approval process and to create dashboards for national and international benchmarking.
