EMS technology, quality
& projects — done by
someone who's been on the rig.

Steve Wyatt — 18 years as a paramedic, flight medic, EMS informatics and quality manager, and Mobile Integrated Healthcare program manager. Now consulting on the technology transitions, quality programs, and projects that can't afford to go wrong.

Why This Is Hard

Most implementations fail for predictable reasons.

Operational risk

Dispatch doesn't stop for a go-live. Compliance deadlines don't pause. When the consultant has never run a shift, implementations stall at exactly the wrong moment.

Data continuity risk

"Your data will transfer" is not a migration plan. Agencies lose years of quality records and fail state audits because nobody validated the field mapping.

Staff adoption risk

The best ePCR on the market becomes a liability if crews document around it. Change management isn't an add-on — it's the project.

What Strada Can Do

Six ways I help EMS agencies.

01

ePCR Vendor Transitions

Product ownership, requirements, data migration, UAT, and go-live — with someone who knows what crews actually document.

02

CAD System Implementations

Failover testing, CAD-to-ePCR integration, dispatch workflow mapping, and cutover coordination.

Data & NEMSIS Reporting

State-compliant reporting pipelines that survive vendor transitions — built in SQL, Python, Tableau, and Power BI.

Change Management & Training

Crew adoption strategy and role-based training — the work that determines whether your investment pays off.

Clinical Quality (QA/QI)

Data-driven QA/QI programs run on the Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle — aligned with NEMSQA national measures and built to survive a system transition.

EMS Project Management

PMP-trained project leadership for POCUS rollouts, MIH launches, accreditation, and grant-funded work — scope, schedule, budget, and risk.

The Difference

Most technology consultants have never run a call.

Field Experience

18 years as a paramedic and flight medic

I know what crews will and won't document at 2 a.m. after a difficult call. That context shapes every training program, data field, and go-live plan I build.

Implementation Track Record

Led ePCR and CAD implementations as product owner

User stories, acceptance testing, vendor coordination, go-live. I know where these projects break down because I've navigated those breakdowns firsthand.

Industry Standards

Active on NEMSQA Measure Development Committee

I help write the national quality measures your agency is evaluated against — so I know what's coming before it reaches your door.

Independence

No vendor relationships or referral fees

My recommendations are based solely on what I've seen work and fail in real EMS operations. When you hire me, I represent your agency's interests — not a vendor's.

Who I Work With

Built for EMS leadership.

CEO / COO

Someone who won't need babysitting

You need a consultant who understands operational risk, can represent your agency directly with the vendor, and delivers without constant oversight.

Medical Director

Data continuity through every change

NEMSIS submissions survive the transition. QA visibility continues through go-live. Documentation maps correctly on the other side.

Director of Operations

Someone who knows what go-live weekend means

A project manager who understands shift work and crew behavior — and builds adoption strategy before day one, not after.

Get Started

Most agencies contact me 6 months too late.

The best time to bring in outside expertise is before you've signed the vendor contract — when you still have leverage. The second-best time is right now.
