Medical Center recognized for cardiac arrest data work Northeast Georgia Medical Center has been recognized for its innovative work gathering data on cardiac arrest victims. Jason Grady, paramedic and Northeast Georgia Regional STEMI coordinator, accepted the award from Constellation Research on behalf of NGMC. “In order to improve communication between paramedics and Department regarding the care a cardiac patient has — or hasn’t — received before he or she arrives at the hospital, we created an easy-to-use, Web-based questionnaire for EMS to complete,” Grady said. After researching different technologies allowing first responders to convey vital information accurately, Grady and his team selected the combination of Smartsheet’s collaborative project management software and Apple’s iPad.
