My name is Paul Girard; paramedic, entrepreneur, and creator of the EMS Continuous Quality Improvement system. Traditional EMS quality assurance is ineffective and focuses on punitive action; in fact, there are FIVE major pitfalls with traditional quality assurance that most agencies are not aware of. My team and I have crafted a complimentary report, valued at $19.97, “EMS Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) – Who Needs It & Why!”, and I am giving it to you for nothing.

To name just a few, here’s some of the things found in the report:

  • How to implement CQI (Continuous Quality Improvement) in your EMS agency
  • How to increase the accuracy of run form reports and patient assessment
  • How to decrease delays in patient care
  • How to know when to activate ALS care

Once you learn some of the pitfalls to avoid and how to deploy CQI in your service, you’ll radically decreases risk for EMTs & paramedics, and boost the revenue returns and overall quality service in your EMS agency.
