Abstract
This is the final summary report on the Evaluation of the Flex Program's EMS Supplement Funding Grantees. This three-year funding was awarded to eight grantees to implement projects in either the development of sustainable models of care or to support rural-relevant EMS quality metrics and improvement of EMS data reporting. The evaluation reports for the first two project years focused on issues related to project implementation, management, and monitoring. (Year 1 report; Year 2 report).
This summary evaluation report provides a detailed discussion of project accomplishments, outcome measures, lessons learned, and sustainability strategies for each grantee based on the Flex Monitoring Team’s interviews, tracking tools, and the final project reports submitted in the fall of 2022. The authors also provide a summary of the project goals, partners, outcome measures, and sustainability plans for the eight awarded projects.
