ACS gets $4 million EMS software contract for New Orleans

DALLAS Affiliated Computer Services today announced a $4 million contract to provide its electronic patient record service for the City of New Orleans Emergency Medical Services agency.

Under the terms of the five-year contract, ACS will equip all New Orleans’ ambulances with the FIREHOUSE Mobile EMS software that allows local EMS personnel to record complete patient data in real-time, whether in the field at a patient’s side or in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.

“We look forward to stepping into a new future with ACS through the adoption of electronic patient care records and electronic billing, which will allow us to provide our city with the highest level of pre-hospital emergency medicine to-date,” said Jullette Saussy, director of EMS for the City of New Orleans. “For 19 years, ACS has continued to work with us side-by-side to ensure that our needs as a revenue-generating EMS agency are met while also remaining patient-care focused throughout the process.”
