b"CARES OVERVIEWREPORTING CAPABILITYThe CARES software includes functionality to automate data analysis for participating EMS agencies. The reports include 911 response intervals, delivery rates of critical interventions (i.e. bystander CPR, dispatcher CPR, public access defibrillation [PAD]), and community rates of survival using the Utstein template. An EMS agency has continuous access to their data and can generate reports by date range at their convenience. The software is also capable of aggregate reporting allowing CARES staff to generate custom reports for benchmarking and surveillance purposes. In addition, hospitals have access to facility-specific reports, allowing users to view pre-hospital and in-hospital characteristics of their patient population with benchmarking capability. A robust query feature also allows agencies and hospitals to create customized searches of their data. These search results can be easily exported to Microsoft Excel for further analysis.TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND SUPPORT Training, education, and ongoing technical and operations support are key components of CARES that contribute to the registrys success and enhance the experience for participating sites. During the enrollment process, EMS and hospital users receive extensive training from CARES staff on the data elements, data collection process, and features of the CARES website.
