What’s happening: The Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA) will host a hospitals-only webinar on June 24 from 8-9:30 a.m. (PT) to share more information about its new “APOT Audit Tool” and solicit feedback.
What else to know: The tool, outlined in EMSA’s proposed emergency regulations implementing Assembly Bill 40 (2023), would be used to evaluate and verify ambulance patient offload time (APOT) data. Hospitals would be able to validate the data and identify discrepancies.
Prior to statewide rollout, EMSA will pilot the new audit tool in July with a select hospital and local emergency medical services agency. This webinar is an important opportunity for hospitals to learn about the tool’s design and influence changes to ensure its functionality in the hospital setting.
For more information about the webinar and to register, see EMSA’s flyer.
