We're building the public accountability infrastructure that emergency medical services has never had.
EMSGrades is the first public transparency platform built specifically for emergency medical services. We publish ratings, reviews, and verified licensure information for EMS agencies, individual providers, air medical services, educational programs, and medical first responder organizations across Georgia - with national expansion to follow.
Think of it as Healthgrades for EMS. Every doctor in America has a public profile. Every hospital has CMS ratings. But when a 911 call goes out, the people who respond - the EMTs and paramedics making life-or-death decisions - have no public accountability record at all. EMSGrades changes that.
"When you call 911, you deserve to know who is coming. EMSGrades exists to make that information available to every family in Georgia."
EMSGrades is built for three distinct communities, each with a legitimate interest in EMS transparency.
Patients and families deserve to know the quality, reputation, and track record of the services responding to their emergencies. EMSGrades gives them a place to research agencies before a crisis, understand what others have experienced, and share their own.
EMS providers - the paramedics, EMTs, and AEMTs who make up this profession - deserve a platform where great work is recognized and poor working conditions are visible. EMSGrades lets providers rate their employers, giving the workforce a voice it has never had publicly.
EMS agencies that invest in clinical excellence, provider welfare, and community service deserve public recognition for it. EMSGrades gives high-performing agencies a platform to demonstrate their commitment and differentiate themselves from those who don't meet the same standard.
