Organizations will partner on major EMS report and content aimed at promoting best practices among EMS leadership
SAN FRANCISCO – EMS1.com, the leading website for EMS professionals in the public safety market, has announced a strategic content and marketing partnership with top EMS consultancy Fitch & Associates.
The two entities will work together to produce content aimed at promoting EMS best practices and to shed light on trends impacting providers across North America, including a major research report of EMS trends scheduled for publication in 2016.
The Fitch and EMS1 Trend Report will poll select agencies nationwide over a multiyear period. It will examine key trends among a large representative group of providers in much the same manner in which the Dow Jones Index® reports performance of companies in the stock market over time. Conducted in cooperation with the National EMS Management Association (NEMSMA), the report will benchmark key trends in areas such as system design, clinical methods, technology, operations, human resources, financial aspects and other relevant indicators of the profession.
In addition, EMS1 will serve as the premier media partner for the Fitch-produced Pinnacle EMS Leadership Forum conference, providing pre and post-event coverage. Pinnacle will be held in Amelia Island, Fla., from August 3 through 7, 2015.
Members of Fitch & Associates will also regularly contribute articles to EMS1 and other Praetorian Digital publications.
“We are excited to partner with Fitch & Associates, an organization that has a track record of success in helping help EMS programs achieve their highest potential,” said Alex Ford, CEO of EMS1 and Praetorian Digital. “Likewise, our focus is in providing EMS professionals and organizations the latest information and tools to enhance their performance in line with modern standards. We believe this partnership will benefit our readers by providing valuable insight into trends across the industry.”
“EMS1 is leading the next wave by communicating future-oriented strategies, tactics and reporting the news for EMS leaders and caregivers via the web. We are delighted to work more closely with them to provide insights for our changing profession,” said Jay Fitch, PhD, founding partner of Fitch & Associates.
