What will each individual EMS system get out of its participation in PreMIS?
PreMIS offers many benefits to each individual system. An electronic medical record of patient care is created which is closely tied to important system information, quality management, inventory and personnel tracking, billing, device data and, most importantly, patient outcomes. The system is being developed with as much local system input as possible and is provided at no cost. EMS must be prepared to justify itself to its customer (the patient and the payer) and to the rest of the health care system. PreMIS is the foundation for the future of EMS.
