The NEMSQA Member Spotlight highlights members, partners and staff to help you get to know our community. Introducing Avel eCare- Our first Affiliate Organization Member![]() ![]() There are other telemedicine platforms that assist EMS but we deliver both cutting-edge technology and clinical expertise. We believe our clinical team, the foundation of our service line, are the difference makers. We are very clinician to clinician focused, ensuring the end user receives real-time, expert medical guidance when it matters most. In South Dakota, Avel eCare has partnered with 107 of the state’s 124 EMS agencies, providing critical support for prehospital care, interfacility transfers, and complex decision-making. Our expansion into Minnesota, Nebraska, and Kansas demonstrates the growing demand for this telemedicine model. Why did Avel eCare become a NEMSQA member?We discovered NEMSQA through our collaboration with the University of Minnesota on a NHTSA post-crash care project, aiming to measure post-crash care outcomes, provider satisfaction, and workforce recruitment trends in EMS. After doing some research, we recognized the shared commitment to quality improvement and joined as the first Affiliate Organization. We look forward to collaborating with other leading EMS organizations and industry experts, contributing to national quality improvement initiatives and exploring new EMS performance measures and best practices. We thrive on learning, collaboration, and innovation and believe there is opportunity to do all three with NEMSQA. Why is quality improvement important to Avel eCare?
