FALL RIVER, MA -- OCI Software, developer of the AmbuPro EMS ePCR software suite, is proud to announce its new affiliation with Girard & Associates. This relationship enables EMS services to truly advance their documentation and quality assurance standards. Patient care report information flows from AmbuPro EMS to Girard & Associates’ systems, where a series of metrics and algorithms driven by the “G&A Audit Analytics” process are applied to consistently provide the client’s EMS management team with accurate quality improvement reports and feedback. Leveraging Girard & Associates’ extensive background in quality assurance implementation and AmbuPro EMS’ cutting-edge documentation and review tools, EMS services can pinpoint and correct issues in patient care, workflow, and overall operations quickly and effectively. These corrections empower their mutual customers to provide the best possible patient care, improve turnaround times, reduce risk, and streamline business processes.
“We are excited by the prospect of working more closely with OCI Software,” said Girard & Associates owner Paul Girard. “AmbuPro EMS software is a leader in the ePCR market and provides EMS agencies with a very powerful tool that can be used to improve the patient care experience. Our quality improvement coordinators will be able to merge our proprietary QA/QI processes and scoring systems with the detailed data from AmbuPro EMS to find and fix an extensive variety of clinical issues.”
“Most of our clients leverage from their quality data and AmbuPro EMS reports to help facilitate their existing review process,” described Doug Furtado, Chief Operating Officer with OCI Software. “However, a ‘100% true QA’ process is complex to correctly assemble and refine, then compile and interpret the never-ending stream of data. Girard & Associates is pioneering the industry of outsourced services for measurable and objective QA and CQI in the EMS space – and it is working. The net result is overall risk reduction for our mutual client and improved patient care provided to their community. To better the EMS industry in general and our AmbuPro EMS customers specifically, we are eager to work closer with Girard & Associates and help pave the way for those EMS agencies seeking a more practical and measurable approach to clinical improvement.”
