Thu, 02 Sep 2010 23:13:00 -0400

As EMS Toolkit continues to grow and expand its features within the EMS Web Based Intranet for Ambulance companies nationwide we are also working on creating tools never seen before at reasonable prices within the industry.

EMS Toolkit not only offers a feature rich web based intranet software solution that will literally revolutionise the way your agency does business nearly overnight but we also offer a brand new product called Satellite Real-Time Monitoring System or SRMS. SRMS is a suite of real-time monitoring products. These products include:

SRMS ALERT: A fully installable software application that will allow your agency to be notified of pre-defined scenarios within your CAD or database system. Imagine instantly being notified of those "special" circumstances, or high call volume within 30 minutes or maybe too many respiratory calls within 15 minutes. The possibilities are literally endless!
SRMS REPORT:Go beyond a simple notification when a pre-defined scenario exists within your CAD and get the full details. SMRS REPORT allows you to not only be notified via Text Message, but also a detailed email with full data output. Imagine seeing run/tag numbers , call types, nature of calls, response times, out of chute times and more instantly when an event occurs.
SRMS DASHBOARD: A powerful addition to the SRMS REPORT system. Take that same detailed email notification sent via the SRMS REPORT and place it in a fully auto refreshing EMS DASHBOARD with audible and visual notifications for new events

Contact one of our representatives today to talk about how the SRMS system can be added to your EMS Agency seamlessly to gain the full benefits tomorrow.

The Real Value Of Integration

Thu, 15 Apr 2010 16:53:00 -0400

Over the years the EMS industry as a whole has changed. It has become more tech savvy, more streamlined and more versatile with the tools that have been made available to field providers. EMS Toolkit has built a system on those industry guiding principles as well as Integration.

The value of integration is something that we believe cannot be overlooked. Think about your daily activities; how many different applications do you interact with? How many different systems do you ask your staff to utilize throughout their shifts?

System integration is a key aspect of the EMS Toolkit Intranet system. Our 50+ features are fully integrated which puts a powerful, flexible tool at your fingertips. Imagine clicking an on an EMT's name, viewing their certifications, when they expire and with a click of the mouse, you are now viewing their past attendance record or perhaps their emergency contacts or past medical history.

The level of system integration within EMS Toolkit has instant return on investment. We don't ask you take our word for it. Click here to see for yourself how much money the EMS Toolkit system can save you.

EMS Certification Tracking

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 22:05:00 -0400

Nearly every ambulance agency, either paid or volunteer has the responsibility of ensuring their employees have up-to-date EMS certifications. EMS personnel are required to maintain several different certifications that require re-certification year and year, and because of this it creates a huge task for administrators to keep track of all the employee's certifications and when they expire. This is why EMS Toolkit has refined and built a fully functional and integrated EMS Certification Tracking Software solution.

Imagine this, 120 days before an employees certification is due to expire, your training officer is alerted by email, the employee is alerted by email and better yet the employee is sent a text message. This process occurs from 120 days down to 0 and every day there-after.

Penalties and fees are costly to ambulance agencies around the world, and with spot inspections from the state or even worse OEMS the odds are if your staff are providing care with an expired certification such as CPR you will get caught. EMS Certifications should not be one of your weak links.

EMS Toolkit has one of the easiest to use certification tracking systems available. Track an unlimited amount of certifications, licenses, continued education courses and much much more. With the easy to use reports you will always know what employees have upcoming certification expiration's along with the ability to print address labels, and certification expiration warning letters right from the software making managing employee certifications a breeze.

If you have any questions about how the EMS Toolkit Certification Tracking System can work in your agency call us today and we will be happy to provide a free demonstration on how an hour with our tools, can make months of free time for you!

Custom EMS Reports

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 18:44:00 -0400

Does your agency run reports; and do your reporting requirements sometimes out-reach your reporting capabilities?

EMS Toolkit offers a unique service to our clients. We take the burden of reporting away from our clients and make it easier than ever to get custom reports created in a timely manner. We have the resources and knowledge to provide your agency with nearly any custom report you can imagine. With our time in the EMS industry we have seen almost every possible custom report request and can ensure our data's accuracy and integrity.

Typically in most EMS or Ambulance companies there is the "Go To Person" that is able to run reports for everyone else within the organization. Maybe that person is the one that knows the most about Crystal Reports or Excel. What we've seen that is even more common is that this person has many other daily responsibilities other than running reports for those in need. With an ever increasing need for custom reports and verified data this person's other responsibilities are falling by the wayside. Does this sound familiar?

EMS Toolkit's Custom EMS Reporting service takes the report writing tasks away from you, freeing up your time to work on other tasks and within sometimes hours your report is delivered right to your Intranet and is available 24/7/365 with all the selectors you will need to have a flexible business tool from that point forward.

Say goodbye to writing or "Cloning" the same report with a few small changes. Our reports deliver "Selectors" that allow you to pass different values to the report making a single report perform multiple business tasks.

Custom EMS Apps

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 17:14:00 -0400

It's no secret that EMS agencies across the nation have special needs and those special need often required custom solutions that aren't readily available from a single provider/vendor. Thinking about your own agency, what excel spreadsheets have you created to solve a problem for instance, how many times have ambulances been late, how many supplies are needed for one of your ambulances, etc. When you think about it, you've probably created too many "single" solutions and nothing is integrated into a cohesive solution that saves you time and money.

EMS Toolkit has been creating custom web-based applications that truly solve business problems for over 10 years and having created nearly 500 different custom tools we're confident that we can offer you an integrated solution that not only works beyond your expectations, but also saves you time, energy and money.

Below are just a very small sampling of the types of applications we have been able to provide to our clients over the years:

Dashboards integrating into their own CAD Systems (RightCad/Sanitas)
Delayed Ambulance E-Reports
Geo-Plotting Advanced Reporting for Call Density
Geo-Plotting Advanced Reporting for Ambulance Response Course
Online ordering for employee uniforms/supplies
Custom QA/QI Systems
Custom Reports
Patient Charting Systems
Online patient bill pay systems
and so much more.

EMS Toolkit not only has the knowledge, manpower and resources to turn your problem into a thing of the past, but we also do it for less than you can possibly imagine. With an average cost of about $500 (one time fee) you can finally have everything your agency has ever needed.

Do you have any custom applications in mind? Contact us today by phone or by email.

EMS TOOLKIT:
A UNIQUE PACKAGE THAT THE INDUSTRY NEEDS.

EMS Toolkit was developed to meet today’s industry challenges. According to EMS developers “The applications in the EMS Toolkit are ones the industry has needed and wanted for many years, and while some similar type applications have been developed individually, there has not been a single, cohesive packaged resource available to the industry, until now.”

What’s more, EMS Toolkit will be economically viable since purchase of the application is not required. EMS Agencies will be able to subscribe to a variety of different Toolkit configurations that meet their specific needs. Some will only require a base or standard version while larger units may opt for more robust versions containing different modes.

EMS Dashboards

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:05:00 -0400

Over the years we have found nearly every EMS and Ambulance agency in the country asks for custom built EMS Dashboards showing everything from daily employee call outs to on time performance percentages, daily volume by call type or priority, employee statistics, daily UHU (Unit Hour Utilization) and so much more.

EMS Toolkit's custom EMS Dashboards allow you to view any information you want/need. Our developers work specifically with you to discuss the details of the dashboard and what information you will want to see on it. Dashboards work a bit differently than EMS Reports and this is the very reason we spend the exrta time with you to discuss the data requirements.

EMS Toolkit can show your data in both a text-based grid format, plain text or using advanced animated charts. With the use of these delivery methods it allows you to have the data easily read and a in format that is easy to understand.

All of our EMS Dashboards are auto refreshing to ensure the most up-to-date information is being displayed. We can customize to your needs how often the dashboard will need to be updated to deliver the most current EMS data.

For some examples of our EMS Dashboards please click here.

Have you ever heard from an employee.."I didn't know!"

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 15:48:00 -0400

Background:
This case study comes to us from New Jersey by way of one of the largest EMS agencies. With over 500 employees both staff and management alike.

Problem (Before EMS Toolkit):
Employees would perform acts that weren't in-line with the most up to date company policies, guidelines and general practices. Upon being confronted by management and all too often the response from staff would be "I didn't know".

These three words make it difficult to hold employees accountable and therefore enforce the companies stance and policies. Staff members were getting away with nearly everything and were becoming difficult to manage.

Case Study:
With the deployment of EMS Toolkit and more importantly those features within it this company was able to create corporate policies dictating how often staff and management should log into the EMS Intranet. By implementing this one policy they were able to turn things around with the use of daily reminder memos, online search-able PNP, SOP and Employee Handbooks all while offering an accountability that has never been achieved before.

With EMS Toolkit, every memo, PNP, SOP, etc. read, a log event is created and further more reports that can be run showing who has read what, when and from where. With this knoweledge a company is able to determine quickly and easily if an employee was or was not in possesion of the knowledge they should have had making employee accountability that much stronger.

Within 3 months of implementing this policy, along with strong but consistent management, the nearly difficult to manage staff were finally accountable for their actions. Management could notify staff, with 100% accountability.

Top 10 Tips For Improving Your Intranet

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 20:33:00 -0400

Update it frequently (announcements, news, etc) . By updating the information on your intranet site frequently, your staff gets recent and accurate information. An intranet is a great way to spread the news.
Make it simple and easy to use. If it's not easy to use, people won't use it. The goal of an intranet should be to simplify and consolidate, not add to the mess.
Provide a search feature. Your intranet is useless if people can't find what they need. Even the most logically structured intranet needs a search bar for people in a hurry.
Track the usage (hits and visitors). Your idea of what's useful and what's actually used may be completely different. Keeping stats is a good way to help you shape your intranet according to your staff's needs and expectations.
Organize it logically according to departments and teams. By organizing content around departments, you give each department its own place to call home. An intranet's functionality should reflect the functionality of the company.
Provide a starting page for each department. A starting page for each department provides staff quicker access to relevant information. It eliminates confusion and allows for much easier navigation.
Include files, documents, policies, procedures, etc. Keeping important information on your intranet makes it easy for staff to find what they need. And having one central location makes for faster updates when information changes.
List phone extensions and contact lists. Instead of having to search around for a hardcopy of phone extensions and contact lists, putting this information on your intranet makes frequently needed (and often forgotten) contact numbers easy to find.
Allow for feedback forms. Feedback forms and comments are a great way to improve communication and collaboration - which is the whole point of an intranet.
Use a content management system. Using a content management system is the quickest and easiest way to maintain an active intranet.
