As previously noted, the latest Performance Pay Tracking Period began on March 1st. We are striving to meet the Patient Satisfaction goal of a ≥ 65% rating (experience as “Excellent”). In order to create a comfortable margin of performance, while continuing to improve the patient experience, we would like to share some feedback from recent patient focus groups. The two areas that patients value the most are: 1. Communication from the treating crew: “Explain treatment options and procedures” “Provide reassurance and compassionate communication with the patient”

2. Setting clear expectations: “Set transport length expectation” “Set a triage level expectation before arriving at the hospital”

For the second year in a row, MEDIC has received the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline® EMS Gold Award for implementing quality improvement measures for the treatment of patients who experience severe heart attacks. Every year, more than 250,000 people experience an ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) the most deadly type of heart attack caused by a blockage of blood flow to the heart that requires timely treatment. To prevent death, it’s critical to restore blood flow as quickly as possible, either by mechanically opening the blocked vessel or by providing clot-busting medication.

Unfortunately, a significant number of STEMI patients don’t receive this prompt reperfusion therapy, which is critical in restoring blood flow. Mission: Lifeline seeks to save lives by closing the gaps that separate these patients from timely access to appropriate treatments. Mission: Lifeline’s EMS recognition program recognizes emergency medical services for their efforts in improving systems of care and improving the quality of life for these patients.

An annual event sponsored by Carolina’s Health Care and The 100 Black Men Of Charlotte, the CHS Career Fair exposes young middle and high school men to African American healthcare professionals and potential medical field career possibilities. Demonstrating how many different kinds of career possibilities there are within medicine, our conversations were quite animated and passionate. Yet very personal and directed. “I thought the young men were very engaged and asked great questions. They were really able to see the myriad opportunities that exist for them in the various, allied medical fields”, according to Tony Pattillo. “I have no doubt that some of these young men will look back on this day and realize that this was a life-changing experience. The thought of my participation in that is humbling!” Antonio Pattillo
