Earlier this week, the American Ambulance Association kicked off the new season of the data collection webinar series with a free session – an overview of a draft chart of accounts for ambulance services. This chart is intended to help services meet the upcoming reporting requirements, while standardizing definitions across the industry to aid in consistent reporting.

With nearly five hundred registrants, the webinar was a tremendous success, and as a follow-up, the draft chart of accounts was sent to each registered person. Moving forward, the next step is to collect feedback from the wide variety of providers who were on the call (and those who watched the recording later). We’ll be collecting that feedback over the coming days, and hope to have a revised and refined product available later this year.

A huge THANK YOU to all those who participated on the webinar, and to the many of you who have already provided feedback. Sharing your help and expertise only improves this tool for the entire community, and we very much appreciate it!
