Handtevy, the nationally recognized leader in emergency resuscitation technology, highlights the publication of a landmark quality improvement study in Prehospital Emergency Care. The study authors report on how Handtevy’s platform helped a multi-agency EMS system in upstate New York achieve 97% correct pediatric medication dosing accuracy, the highest ever reported in the peer-reviewed emergency care literature. The previous high-water mark in EMS was 89.4%, itself achieved following implementation of Handtevy in a Denver Health urban EMS system.
The study, led by Dr. Maia Dorsett and colleagues at the University of Rochester Medical Center and the Monroe-Livingston Regional EMS System (MLREMS), tracked pediatric medication dosing performance across more than a dozen agencies over a multi-year period. Prior to adopting Handtevy, correct dosing stood at just 79% overall, with midazolam for pediatric seizure correctly dosed only 65% of the time.
Following implementation of the Handtevy mobile application alongside structured training and ongoing quality monitoring, the system achieved a sustained rate of 97% correct first-dose medication administration by December 2025, surpassing the project’s prespecified goal of 95%…
