Participant testimonials

"It was a very big benefit to us. It did help identify those areas with improvements we could do and really gave us the chance to do some good self-reflection on our agency and our processes as a whole. So, I’m actually thankful for it.” - EMS Chief

“It is a simple way to gauge your agency’s ability to adequately serve your pediatric populations.” -Logistics Officer

“It is not overly time-consuming. I think people see surveys and think that, get discouraged, because they think ‘oh my gosh, this is going to take me three weeks to put all this stuff together.’ But it’s not overly time-consuming.” -Training Captain and PECC

"I think it gives a neutral outside view of what your agency is actually capable of. I think everybody thinks their agency is going to be you know, the best and ready to handle anything. But using this assessment gives you that outside, 300-foot view of what you are actually capable of doing." - EMS Chief

“I think this information is invaluable. It's highly important for people to fill this out.” -EMS Executive Director

“I definitely think it gives you a better perspective of how ready or not ready you are. We felt like we were probably pretty ready for pediatrics, we deal with them somewhat regularly, but definitely the assessment kind of opened our eyes to some weaknesses we never anticipated.” -EMS Chief
