Emergency Medical Services

Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) was developed to help communities determine standard outcome measures for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), allowing for local quality improvement efforts and benchmarking capability to improve care and increase survival. The program seeks to save more lives from OHCA; strengthen collaboration between 911 centers, first responders, emergency medical services (EMS) agencies, and hospitals; provide a simple, confidential process for assessing patient outcomes in compliance with HIPAA; offer technical assistance to help community leaders identify and prioritize opportunities to improve EMS performance, and generate annual national and statewide reports for benchmarking capability.

Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) is the decision and implementation of intervention tactics to best respond to the needs of the emergency situation at hand.

This form initiates the request for a meeting that is geared to assist those dealing with the physical or psychological symptoms that are generally associated with trauma exposure. It is intended for small groups and not designed for primary victims or in a one-on-one setting.
