What is NEMSIS?
Many statewide EMS data systems have been created. However, these EMS systems vary in their ability to collect patient and systems data and allow analysis across local, state, and national levels. The NEMSIS project was developed to help states collect more standardized elements and eventually submit the data to a national EMS database. NEMSIS a a national standard for the definition and construction of data elements collected in OPHI-PCR and any other NEMSIS software. Additional info about NEMSIS can be found at: http://nemsis.
