About us
Prodigy is different. It redefines the EMS online CE market by delivering on the long-anticipated promise of EMS online education that truly educates and inspires. Prodigy isn’t for everyone. It isn’t for those who simply want to check boxes. Instead, it’s for innovative and dynamic EMS organizations and individuals who want to stretch, improve, and make a real difference for the patients and communities they serve. It’s for people who care. Recognizing a considerable deficit in e-Learning targeting the pre-hospital setting, Pro EMS set out to create an in-house system for HIGH-QUALITY education, DELIVERY, and TRACKING. Seeing the value it could add to other EMS systems, Pro EMS decided to build a product for external use. After several internal iterations, Prodigy was launched in late 2016. Prodigy was created to guide the user easily through the recertification process, including state and deaprtment-specific training. EMS Training Officers are given full access to class records, eliminating surprises and ensuring full compliance with certification standards. The classes are created to engage the user through various mediums, including the use of real patient videos, actual patient care reports, and interactive polls.

How to be the best part of the worst day in a patient’s life? It’s always enlightening talking to Steve Wirth and Rob Lawrence caught up with Steve for a quick Prodigy Talk. In terms of patient care, Steve notes that “It all comes down to giving your best to the patient 110% of the time.” He encourages us to go the extra mile, more than just doing what the patient asked you to do, like ‘take me to the hospital’ and not just doing what treatment is expected, but making that experience a positive thing… treating the patient like this is going to be the best experience they've had all day.” In Steve’s own words: “With the polarization of our society and the fact that we're so busy and stressed out and short staffed and everything, we’ve got to bring it back to the patient and remember, hey, we may be having a bad day but we can't let that affect how we work with patients.” Steve looks to the law to identify that there are malpractice cases that show one of the main reasons why people sue is because they don't like you, because you were rude to them, because the health care provider didn't communicate with them. In simple terms, Steve rightly notes is that “it’s all about attitude.” To learn more about Prodigy and how we can provide your online learning needs, visit www.prodigyems.com PWW Advisory Group

The Hallmark of a good leader. In this edition of Prodigy Talk, Rob Lawrence spent time discussing leadership with EMS Attorney Matthew Streger. Matt encourages everyone to “Invest in your self, go to the conferences, the Stephen Covey line of ‘sharpen the saw’, go to places, learn, take Coursera (www.coursera.org) courses, get a degree, go and be a discerning consumer at EMS conferences and develop your personal board of directors” He quotes Industry though leader, Raphael M. Barishansky, DrPH who notes that “Everyone who is successful surrounds themselves with people who give them hard advice, who are their sounding board, their moral compass, their crisis managers, their emotionally intelligent people, people who they can bounce things off before they make a decision because sometimes it’s hard to unring those bells and having them in advance” Streger observes that this is the hallmark of a good leader. Good leaders also need a great Learning Management System - visit www.prodigyems.com to learn more. https://lnkd.in/gAcQ2xaV
