What are Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) and Continuing Education
(CE)?
CQI provides a way for Parkmedics to receive feedback on the treatment
they provided at the scene. Parkmedic residents review the runsheets used
for documentation and provide suggestions, if needed, on how to improve
the next medical encounter via individual or group education or protocol
revision. These suggestions are then relayed to the Parkmedics at either
CE sessions, by their EMS coordinator, or by Parkmedic Program faculty.
CE is emphasized
in this program and monthly educational lectures are held in Sequoia
and King’s Canyon National Park (SEKI). In addition, there
is an annual Parkmedic Refresher course, EMT refresher and a mock
multi-casualty incident (MCI) drill. |
