Prehospital Data

Announcing two major events!!

EMS Statewide Data Collection for May

The EMS & Trauma Systems Program (EMS/TS) is requesting information on each Prehospital Care Report for all EMS agencies for the month of May.   All transport agencies should have received a request with their license renewal application.  Non-transporting EMS agencies will receive a similar request. 

EMS agencies are asked to submit EMS patient encounter information by June 15, 2008.  This information must be submitted in one of the following means:

1. 
    a.  If you use a database which meets the NEMSIS 2.2.1 standard, you may submit an XML export.
    b.  You may submit a spreadsheet containing these datapoints (2008datapoints.xls )
    c.  You may duplicate all of the EMS Patient Care Report forms and mail them to our office.
2. Please identify any costs or barriers associated with complying with this request.   Costs and barriers might include the following:
   a.  Duplication and postage costs.
   b.  Difficulties in preparing a spreadsheet.
   c.  Time involved in preparing the information.
3. If your EMS agency is not able to provide the requested data, please
   a.  Identify the specific reasons that you are not able to provide the requested data. 
   b.  Identify the number of EMS patient encounters during May 2008.
