Performance Improvement

The Central Shenandoah Emergency Medical Services Council‘s Performance Improvement Committee (PI) and Trauma Performance Improvement Committee (TPI), under direction of its Medical Control Review Committee (MCRC), is responsible for assuring and improving the quality of pre-hospital medical care within CSEMS region, and for monitoring compliance with the region’s Trauma Triage Plan for both field-to-hospital and inter-hospital transfer of trauma patients.

Regional PI Topics

- King LT Airway
- Aspirin for chest pain
- 12-lead acquisition
- Trauma triage guidelines
The objectives of the Committee are to conduct regional quality assurance and encourage local agency medical incident reviews as required by state regulation; collect patient care statistics to evaluate system effectiveness and identify trends; and provide constructive feedback on medical quality improvement to all hospital and out-of-hospital EMS professionals within the CSEMS Council region.
