Who can access each local EMS systems data?
Each EMS system s data can only be accessed by that specific local EMS system. Each system will create and maintain a roster of technicians and administrators who will have access authority for entry and query capabilities. This places the access control for each local system at the local system level. PreMIS will have extensive audit and tracking capabilities to record each event and individual who views a patient s record. This trail provides a privacy and confidentiality blanket for each local EMS system at the patient level. System Administrators for PreMIS will have access to all data for the purposes of administrating the system. All data will be kept confidential by the staff and any patient record viewed will have an audit trail documenting when and who has accessed the record. Any research using PreMIS data will have very strict policies, protocols and procedures to assure patient and system confidentiality.
