NEMSQA is a 501(c)6 nonprofit organization that was formed to develop and endorse evidence-based quality measures for EMS and healthcare partners that improve the experience and outcomes of patients and care providers.

Most EMS responses involve adults. Pediatric patients make up a much smaller portion of the calls providers answer, and critically ill children are even less common.

That's one reason the NEMSQA Pediatrics-03b measure exists.

By measuring whether pediatric patients who receive medications have a documented weight in kilograms or a documented length based weight estimate, EMS agencies can evaluate a critical safety process for some of their highest risk, least frequent encounters.

Quality improvement isn't just about what happens every day. It's also about preparing for the moments that happen less often, but where reliable processes matter most.

When it comes to pediatric care, consistency matters.

The NEMSQA Pediatrics-03b measure focuses on a simple but important documentation process: recording a child's weight in kilograms (or documenting a length based weight estimate when appropriate) for pediatric patients who receive medications during an EMS response.

Why measure something so specific?

Because standardized documentation helps reduce opportunities for medication dosing errors and supports safer care across EMS systems.

Quality measures like Pediatrics-03b encourage agencies to evaluate their processes, identify opportunities for improvement, and strengthen patient safety one step at a time.

When a patient experiences syncope, the underlying cause isn't always obvious. That's one reason NEMSQA developed the Syncope-01 quality measure.

This measure tracks the percentage of eligible 911 EMS responses for patients with syncope in which a 12 lead (or greater) ECG is performed. By measuring this consistently, EMS agencies can better understand performance across their systems and identify opportunities for improvement.

The future of EMS quality won't be built by one organization.

It will be built by people who care enough to get involved.

Every improvement in prehospital care begins with someone asking a question, sharing an idea, or finding a better way.

At NEMSQA, our members are part of that work.

From clinicians and educators to agency leaders and physicians, our community brings together professionals who are committed to advancing quality across EMS.

If you're passionate about improving patient care, we'd love to have you at the table.
Together, we're measuring what matters and building a stronger future for EMS.

You can't measure improvement without first measuring where a patient starts.

That's why Trauma-01 and Trauma-03 work together.

Trauma-01 focuses on documenting a pain assessment for eligible injured patients. Trauma-03 looks at whether pain scores improve during the EMS encounter.

Together, these measures provide a more complete picture of the patient's experience and support continuous quality improvement.

Every quality journey starts with a good assessment.

One patient encounter can provide valuable insight.

Thousands of encounters can reveal opportunities to strengthen an entire trauma system.

Trauma-04 tracks the percentage of eligible patients who are transported to a trauma center. Looking at performance over time helps agencies evaluate how consistently patients are reaching the most appropriate destination within their regional trauma system.

Quality measures help turn individual encounters into meaningful system improvement.

No single agency delivers trauma care alone.

EMS clinicians, dispatchers, emergency departments, trauma centers, and regional systems all play a role in helping injured patients receive timely care.

The Trauma-14 measure focuses on whether a pre-arrival trauma alert or activation was initiated for patients meeting established field triage criteria. Measuring this process helps agencies evaluate how effectively communication supports the trauma system.

Strong systems are built on strong coordination.

One documented assessment is valuable.

Thousands of consistently documented assessments are transformative.

When agencies consistently document physiologic findings like Glasgow Coma Score, systolic blood pressure, and respiratory rate, they create reliable data that can identify trends, support quality improvement initiatives, and strengthen trauma system performance over time.

Trauma-08 helps measure that consistency.

Quality improvement starts with dependable data.

Assessing pain is important. Measuring whether it changes is equally valuable.

The Trauma-03 measure looks at eligible injured patients with more than one documented pain score and measures whether the patient's final pain score is lower than the initial score during the EMS encounter. The focus is not on any specific treatment, but on whether the patient's pain improved.

Quality improvement is about understanding outcomes, not simply documenting actions.
