Dawn of Emergency Dispatch Research with Brett Patterson

Isabel talks with Kim Rigden, associate director of accreditation at IAED. They discuss the philosophy of catching people doing it right, strengths-based feedback formulas, and common hurdles to accreditation.

For Your Information:

Due to the complex nature of the task/type distinction of feedback, IAED created strengths-based feedback so the ED-Q does NOT have to figure out if a task is a promotion task (creative) or prevention task (accuracy-based) and react accordingly with positive or negative feedback.
