The Quality and Safety Award is given to participants in the NAEMSP\u2019s year-long Quality and Safety course who demonstrate &#8220;outstanding contributions in quality improvement of prehospital emergency care,&#8221; bringing the fundamentals of quality improvement to their communities.<\/p>\n<p>The award was presented to Joshua Kimbrell, Paramedic and Quality Improvement Coordinator for Jamaica Hospital\u2019s Department of Prehospital Care, as well as paramedics Mikiel Lala and Dheuris Rodriguez at the NAEMSP Conference in Tampa, Florida. However, this award recognizes the efforts of our entire team of EMS personnel.<\/p>\n<p>The NAEMSP counts over 2,000 physicians, paramedics, nurses, administrators, educators, researchers, and EMS personnel among its members. The organization hosts events, publicly advocates, and provides resources for education and networking among emergency medical personnel.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the NAEMSP\u2019s Quality and Safety course, members of Jamaica Hospital\u2019s EMS staff completed a capstone project on improving cardiac arrest care and patient survival among patients in the local Queens community.

The team presented their case at the conference with a published abstract in the <em>Prehospital Emergency Care <\/em>journal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe strategy our team developed resulted in significant improvements in patient outcomes,\u201d said Joshua Kimbrell. \u201cThis award was an achievement for our entire department.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to all members of our EMS staff!<\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer\">All content of this newsletter is intended for general information purposes only and is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
