ESO Launches HDE Patient Outcomes Feature

PRESS RELEASE

ESO, a leading data and software company serving emergency medical services (EMS), fire departments, hospitals and state EMS/trauma offices, today announced an industry-first feature in ESO Health Data Exchange (HDE) that provides EMS agencies with comprehensive insight into patient outcomes at the click of a button. This new feature translates custom emergency department and hospital disposition values into a standardized data format for quick and easy access.

“This new feature is a game changer for both hospitals and EMS agencies,” said Dr. Brent Myers, Chief Medical Officer for ESO. “We have built upon the power of our HDE platform that  allows EMS providers, performance improvement officers, and medical directors to see how individual patients fared after EMS transport by standardizing these outcomes to be viewed at an aggregate level as well.”

ESO Health Data Exchange facilitates the bidirectional exchange of data between EMS agencies and hospital emergency departments, ensuring real-time access to important clinical information. Key functionality includes:

• Standardize custom disposition values: Translate custom disposition values into standard CMS-1450 data set.
• Individual and aggregate view: See patient outcomes at both the individual and aggregate levels to drive agencywide improvements.
• Easy access: Workflow automation provides instant access to important data around survival status, need for admission, transfers, etc., in a searchable way.

“The ability for us to see hospital outcome data for both individual patients and in aggregate is a giant leap for the industry,” said Dr. José G Cabañas, Director and Medical Director of Wake County EMS. “These new functionalities enhance our ability to build stronger quality improvement programs that ensure we are serving our community with the best possible care. Additionally, it helps us create a much stronger relationship with our hospital partners to ensure we get patients to the right facility at the right time to receive the right treatment.”
