FirstWatch Webinar sponsored by CPSE: Fire Operations and Accreditation Monitoring and Reporting

Описание: Recorded June 22, 2022

The FirstWatch Fire Operations Analytics/Accreditation Module (FOAM) is now well established as a leader in fire operations management information and Accreditation effort support. It continues to evolve, and we are excited to share some of our new geo-spatial reporting options. These enhancements increase your ability to analyze and present accurate and verifiable data that produce consistent and credible management information based upon the accreditation requirements of CFAI and from any combination of data sources that are required to report on the specific dimensions of importance to you.

Providing automated Annual Compliance Reports (ACR) allows your agency to allocate expensive resources to things other than data gathering and reporting. The flexibility of the module allows you to report on your operational performance consistent with your Standards of Coverage and/or Strategic Plans Document(s) at any level (Station, engine, Battalion) over any defined time period. The FirstWatch system provides Individual and Configurable dashboards using Interactive Data Visualization (IDV) with multiple windows of information.

A Report Suite of 10 Reports of Operational Performance enhances your public transparency while providing internal management tools. All provided with maximum flexibility that allows you to report operational performance across any time period and for any geographic area by Apparatus, Equipment, Station, Battalion or District.

Operational reports include:

Unit Hour Utilization
Medical Transports or Transport Assists from FD Paramedics
Annual Compliance Report
Time Segment Analysis Graphs
Turnout Time Analysis
Geospatial Reporting and mapping by user defined layers
Incident Count and Response Performance Report
Exclusion tools and reports (allow you to manually exclude calls from data set and generates a report on all excluded calls and the reason for the exclusion)
Station/Unit Reliability
Demand Analysis (Heat Table for day of week and hour of day)

All performance parameters are reported over time and data is applied to Statistical Process Control Charts to help your agency identify areas of common cause and special cause variation in your response systems.

Our experts provide a live demonstration of FOAM and introduce you to an overview of a new option for data visualization that we are developing that provides added filtering and presentation options allowing you to ‘play with your data’ as much (or as little) as you chose to.
