Abstract EN
Measuring quality in Emergency Medical Services (EMSs) systems is challenging.
This paper reviews the current approaches to measuring quality in health care and EMS with a focus on currently used clinical performance indicators in EMS systems (US and international systems).
The different types of performance indicators, the advantages and limitations of each type, and the evidence-based prehospital clinical bundles are discussed.
This paper aims at introducing emergency physicians and health care providers to quality initiatives in EMS and serves as a reference for tools that EMS medical directors can use to launch new or modify existing quality control programs in their systems.
