Will all Datapoints be required?
No, the final dataset will have a minimal dataset requirement that each system must document. It is not known at this time how many datapoints will be required. There will also be several additional modules of datapoints that each individual system may choose to implement. These modules will consist of injury surveillance data, cardiac arrest data, exam data, narrative data, and more extensive system monitoring data. EMS providers who do not have Internet access will be able to document the minimal dataset through the use of a form that can be faxed into the database.
