The EMS Performance Measures
Project seeks to create a "Guide to EMS Performance Measures"
based on EMS community consensus. The Guide will contain performance
measurement questions that the EMS community wants to be able to
routinely answer on a local, state, and national level. These questions
will be defined using data elements from the new "NHTSA Uniform
Prehospital Dataset, Version 2.0" so that these questions and their
results may be compared with validity across EMS systems.
The EMS
Performance Measures Project is coordinated by the National
Association of State EMS Directors (NASEMSD)
in partnership with the
National Association of EMS Physicians
(NAEMSP), and supported by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
and the Health
Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
