The Southwest Virginia EMS Council, under direction of the Office of Emergency Medical Services, coordinates a regional Performance Improvement Program. Data is submitted quarterly to review performance related to specific indicators determined by regional performance improvement committees. Participation in this program ensures that all agencies are compliant with EMS Rules and Regulations requirements to undertake periodic PI review.
The PI Template is provided to help EMS agencies and OMDs design their own PI programs to meet organizational needs.
