A Novel Use of NEMSIS to Create a PECARN-Specific EMS Patient Registry

Conclusion: We demonstrated that NEMSIS can be leveraged to create network specific data sets. The PECARN's EMS data were similar to the national data, though racial/ethnic minorities and some primary impressions may be under-represented. Additionally, more EMS activations in PECARN study areas originated through 9-1-1 and were treated and transported by the documenting agency. This is likely related to the type of participating agencies, their ALS response level, and the diversity of the communities they serve.PMID:34232828 | DOI:10.1080/10903127.2021.1951407
