I am the Clinical Manager at Cypress Creek EMS, a busy suburban/urban 911 provider in Northwest Harris County, Texas.

Abstract BibTex Poster

This Quality Improvement innovations poster provides background, implementation information, and initial results from the first large-scale, agency-wide deployment of paramedic-worn POV cameras utilized to record all patient care. The recordings are subsequently utilized for quality improvement purposes, internal training, and debriefing high-acuity cases to provide higher-quality feedback and empower paramedics to improve the quality of their prehospital care.
