Them and the rest of the Freds having completed their tasks at #NAEMSP2025 admirably, OvFreds celebrated on the plane ride back home with a breakfast of cinnamon grahams and coffee. It was a great week, we’re glad to be home, and highlights and pics from the week to follow.

“If you want to improve outcomes, you need to focus on processes. Our job as leaders is to improve those processes.” Scott Bourn at #NAEMSP2025 providing a framework for reducing efforts on items that don’t result in Improvement to free up time for activities that do.

When @maiadorsett.bsky.social kicks off an afternoon of Quality sessions at #NAEMSP2025 she is not content with the paucity of audience members in the front row, and elects to walk the room. Sorry wallflowers, you get a presenter in close proximity!

Learning about Community Purposed Resuscitation at #NAEMSP2025 from Dr. Sylvia Owusu-Ansah. It’s a guarantee that you have disparities in your bystander CPR data, and there are demonstrated ways to improve those numbers.

This is one of the reasons I love the #NAEMSP2025 annual meeting. You get to learn lessons from 5 years of MIH experience at LA County Fire direct from Dr. Clayton Kazan.

One of the sessions I’ve been most looking forward to at #NAEMSP2025 is Dr. Christopher Colwell presenting a roundup of the best trauma literature of the past year. A highly condensed and must-see educational session.

Being involved in a committee is a great way to contribute to the work that NAEMSP produces. I’m biased and I think the Quality committee is a great one to be involved in! Dr. Ian Medoro is our new Quality Committee chair and led us through a great in person meeting today at #NAEMSP2025

Dr. Sophia Gorgens gave a great presentation on preparing EMS providers for on the job microagressions to stop viewing these events as “just part of the job”. One of many great sessions in the New Speaker series at #NAEMSP2025

Dr. Allison E. Berndtson is giving a powerful presentation on traumatic injuries at the US-Mexico border. The increases in length and height of the border wall creates a catastrophe of injuries. I’ve long been an open borders advocate and this only reinforces that stance. #NAEMSP2025

Making a privilege bead bracelet in the Empowering Leadership precon at #NAEMSP2025. @mtaigman.bsky.social with a powerful takeaway: “there is nothing I’ve done in my life that impacted whether or not I got a bead”. Another impactful exercise from a tremendous faculty!

Kevin Gustina presenting a very compelling Quality Improvement on the assessments of non-transported geriatric fall (lift assist) patients. Every system should pull this data to understand the problems they might be missing. #NAEMSP2025

Dr Michael Redlener with the emphasis to “Focus on Things That Matter” to patients and their family. If you don’t know where to start I suggest picking a NEMSQA measure. #NAEMSP2025

You hear “don’t be the smartest person in the room”, and I’m just in the virtual room but no worries of that for me. Watching these two have a conversational keynote is peak Quality in my book. Brilliant clinicians and leaders.

Me and the Freds had a great time at the AEL Medical Directors meeting. We talked PDSA’s, the need to shift our mindsets about what Quality means, and we’ve got some projects to apply the PDSA learning to. Immediately. What are you improving this week? #thecontinuingadventuresofthepotatoheadfreds
