Chicago-based CommonSpirit Health partnered with ESO to enable real-time data exchange between its five Utah hospitals and EMS agencies across Salt Lake, Davis and Utah counties.
The program, which launched July 1 and was announced September 25, connects nearly 4,000 first responders along the Wasatch Front with longitudinal patient outcome data through ESO’s Health Data Exchange. Participating EMS and fire agencies can access clinical results such as labs, imaging, vitals and procedure notes from CommonSpirit hospitals.
“Information is invaluable in medical care, and the more we can share between the field and the hospital, the better care we can provide,” said Dr. Tim Bode, chief medical officer for CommonSpirit Health’s Mountain Region. “This partnership benefits patients, EMS crews and our hospital providers alike. It was crucial for us to make this tool available to all agencies who bring patients to our facilities, regardless of their existing technology partnerships, because we understand how vital this data sharing is for improving patient outcomes.”
ESO’s platform integrates with major EHRs and delivers outcome data securely to EMS agencies via direct connection or an outcomes portal.
