How does the EMS System Peer Review Committee use and apply the NCCEP EMS Performance Improvement Guideline?
The EMS PI Guideline contains 60 topics that are important to monitor from a quality and performance perspective. All 6 of the EMS Performance Improvement Toolkits are also included in the EMS PI Guideline. The EMS Peer Review Committee must review all of the mandatory items listed in the Guideline within a calendar year (EMS Toolkits twice each year). Depending on the volume of EMS events, the Peer Review Committee must meet a minimum of quarterly by NC EMS rules. Busier EMS Systems will need to meet more frequently. The review of each of these topics will be supplemented with reports from the NC EMS Data System (PreMIS, SMARTT, and CIS).
