The Heavy Lift – Strengthening Lift Assists with Data and Design

Webinar Description

Fire and EMS agencies typically face two choices when addressing lift assists: either stick with minimal evaluation and documentation or require a full EMS evaluation and report for every call. These approaches, though common, often fail to strike a balance between thorough care and efficient resource use. What if there’s a third option? The Louisville Fire District has developed a nuanced approach that provides the benefits of thorough evaluation when needed while optimizing crew resources for greater operational efficiency.

This webinar explores the collaboration between clinical leadership, data analytics, and operations personnel to create a balanced, efficient system. Chief Stark will share key data insights that shaped the program, while Lieutenant Rossette will walk through the implementation of an innovative checklist within an abbreviated EMS report. This session bridges clinical priorities with the realities of field operations to create a replicable model for other agencies.

Participants will leave with practical strategies to enhance documentation, improve patient outcomes, and maximize efficiency by applying a balanced approach to lift assists.

Key Takeaways:

• Learn how clinical and operational teams can collaborate to develop balanced solutions.
• Explore practical strategies for designing and implementing a third-option documentation system.
• Understand the benefits of combining data insights with field-tested solutions to improve patient care and resource use.
