Last week at the IHI office in Boston, a few members of our staff had the opportunity to conduct the Red Bead Experiment with Don Berwick. The experiment shows that even with "willing workers" trying their best, inefficiencies are determined by the process itself, not by individual skill.

Scientific advancements aside, this is economically irresponsible Every $1 spent by NIH generates $2.46 For example, in 2023, $47B in NIH spending generated ~$93B Halting NIH spending will LOSE the US a lot of money (and talent)

An image of NIH campus. Text says : With annual budget of more than $47 billion, NIH is the largest single public funder of biomedical and behavioural research in the world. In fiscal year 2023, NIH funding generated an estimated $92.89 billion in economic activity

Every state and almost every congressional district received a share of NIH investment
Each year, NIH awards over 60,000 grants that directly support more than 300,000 researchers at more than 2,500 different institutions
In fiscal year 2023, every $1 of NIH funding generated approximately $2.46 of economic activity

Kicking off the #EMSAdvocacy with “EMS as an Essential Service” through state legislation. As of April 2024, there are 15 states which designate EMS as “essential.” Did you know that LAWYERS were considered essential in 38 states? How do we define “essential?” #NAEMSP2025

Here's a 🧵 with some of the research and quality improvement presentations from #NAEMSP2025 this year. #EMSsky We investigated the # of abstracts presented at NAEMSP that make it to manuscripts, an indicator of science quality. 44% were published and it was higher in orals (60%).

This poster shows the research findings from our project, showing manuscript conversion. NREMT had the most abstracts per year and U of Washington had the highest conversion rate.

How do you define quality in #EMS? There is no better person to answer that question than @maiadorsett! “Quality in EMS must prioritize patient outcomes.” Systems are complex and require attention to structural & process measures to build improved care. #NAEMSP2025
