Generate value from your ePCR data in ways you never thought possible

Trust + Security + Analytics = Better Outcomes

The biospatial platform curates, analyzes, and makes visible EMS ePCR (electronic Patient Care Reporting) data and provides users access to standardized reports, the ability to configure analysis/views for specific use cases, and the ability to trend patterns over time.

The biospatial platform computes and tracks over 40 EMS quality and performance measures, including the National EMS Quality Measures from the National EMS Quality Alliance (NEMSQA, https://www.nemsqa.org/nemsqa-measures).

Visualize, filter, and analyze measures to customize reports for your agency or state EMS office. Compare measures for your agency to state and national benchmarks.

biospatial has implemented National performance measures, including the National EMS Quality Alliance and Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program Quality Performance measures, as well as state- and institution-specific clinical and operational performance measures.

“As we all know, data is only as good as the quality of data being entered in (garbage in- garbage out). So, the next logical step is to improve the quality of data being entered in. EMSTARS uses Biospatial as our repository and it contains many powerful analytic tools that your agency can use, free of charge, to better improve your EMS performance and improve the quality of data being entered.”

"In Georgia, the tools provided by biospatial have been among the most impactful innovations in the history of our office, and it has been embraced, not only by our staff, but also by our local EMS agencies, medical directors, hospitals and policy makers. In short, biospatial makes it possible for us to tell our story."

Keith Wages
State EMS Director, GA

"Lee County started to use biospatial to track opioid overdoses and trends within the community. Over time and as the capabilities have increased, we now use it to track our effectiveness in multiple Florida State EMS Plan measures, identify trends in motor vehicles accidents, and develop effective presentations of complex sets of data. The tool is very fast, adaptive to the needs of the user, and scalable from large agency to small. biospatial has been a welcome addition to our data mining toolbox."

Benjamin Abes
Director of Public Safety, Lee County, FL
