Dale Becker gave his system a renewed vigor in their approach to CPR and because of this, Dale has given people back their lives through the efforts of the EMTs and paramedics in the Howard County, Maryland EMS system. His EMS crews stay focused on what is important about resuscitation, high quality compressions with fewer and shorter interruptions and early defibrillation when appropriate. They avoid getting distracted by all of the other events and tasks that might be happening during a cardiac arrest. EMS Garage Host, Chris Montera, interviews Dale at EMS Today 2013 about the improvements and innovations in his system.

David Grovdahl, EMT-P, is executive director of Leflore County (Okla.) EMS. He determined that there was no reason rural EMS systems couldn’t have similar improvements in cardiac arrest survival rates as seen in major metropolitan systems. He took his system and through carefully applied education and training, was able to show that remote areas could experience success as well. MedicCast host Jamie Davis, the Podmedic sits down with Dave to talk about what he’s done and how he won the EMS 10 Innovator award this year.

Back injuries related to difficult lifting of heavy patients is a huge problem for EMTs and paramedics in emergency medical services but perhaps not anymore. In another product innovator segment from EMS World Expo 2012 in New Orleans, our finale episode team brings Scott Kier (MedicSBK.com) to the table with his pick.
With a breakthrough patented design, the EZ LIFT Rescue Systems™ reinvents the traditional backboard to make lifting safer and reduce on-the-job back injuries. This unique design uses extendable handles to allow firefighters and EMS personnel to lift from a safe position near, at, or above the knees – as opposed to the conventional lifting position from the floor to the gurney.
The EZ-LIFT backboard has extending lift handles that offer the provider in the field a way to increase the leverage they use while lifting from a much safer position. Check out the video segment from our team at Expo and thanks to Dave Robinson, President of EZ-LIFT Rescue Systems for joining us on our finale segment at Expo.

EMS Leadership Podcast host Chris Cebollero is joined by Dare County, NC EMS Deputy Director Stephen Taylor to talk about some of the most time consuming tasks emergency medical services managers deal with. Chris and Steve met up at EMS World Expo 2012 in New Orleans this past month.
Chris and Steve are both users of EMS Manager for their EMS programs. They discuss the time savings and the ways EMS Manager from Aladtec helps them avoid the headaches of multiple scheduling calendars and managing the diverse needs of their crews. Steve said that his system went from 20 man hours managing the schedule to just four hours per scheduling period. That’s a significant savings in time for a supervisor to use doing other things.
