Echo Data Analytics Wins EMS World Innovation Award for Second Time

For the second year in a row, Echo Data Analytics is pleased to announce that its QC/QI Analytics platform has been honored with the EMS World 2025 Innovation Award. Echo's EMS Operations Analytics Dashboard previously won the EMS World 2024 Innovation Award.

The most innovative products and solutions that are advancing the EMS profession are honored with the EMS World Innovation Awards. An impartial panel of working EMS clinicians, educators and executives—including representatives from Washington University School of Medicine, the International Association of EMS Chiefs, and the Unified Fire Authority—evaluates entries based on their uniqueness, practical clinical application, and proven ability to enhance patient outcomes. Echo's QC/QI Analytics platform was submitted for evaluation at the EMS World Expo 2025, which took place in Indianapolis from Oct. 20–24.

The majority of EMS organizations still rely on spreadsheets and manual case reviews for their mission-critical quality improvement efforts. Executive leadership seldom has a real-time view of how care is progressing throughout the business, as supervisors monitor patient complaints in one system and QI coordinators oversee actions in another. To address it, Echo developed its QC/QI Analytics platform. The platform provides agency leadership, QI personnel and operational stakeholders with real-time performance analytics and is made to work on top of any current records management system without requiring the replacement of ePCR or CAD.

Key features that earned this recognition include:

• Real-time QC/QI analytics and reporting across the entire agency
• Review of intervention and medication statistics
• Accelerated QC/QI review for treatment protocols
• NEMSQA measure tracking
• Single-incident exploration for in-depth case review
• Pattern identification across large call volumes by provider, chief complaint, and intervention
• Seamless integration with existing RMS and PCR systems

"A very innovative platform for tracking complaints, what was found, and QI ability to track large amounts of data (provider to chief complaint to interventions)," said an EMS World Innovation Award Judge.

Agencies told us which calculations were costing them the most time. Now they run in seconds, and QI staff can both explore patterns and drill into a single incident just as fast. Speed at every level is what makes it work," said Joseph Dalton, Echo Data Analytics CEO.
