NEMSIS v3.3.2 Build 130520 Released

The Version 3.3.2 dataset has been released to correct an emergent finding in the v3.3.1 February 1 2013 release. The GPS pattern was updated. One additional change was made to allow for "R" ICD-10-CM codes in the Impressions elements. A pattern change was made to fix this. Please reference the v3.3.2 Change Log for specifics.

The NEMSIS TAC has established a policy for further releases to the Version 3 dataset. Please access the policy here. Requests and recommendations for change should be submitted to NEMSIS staff by July 31st of each year. Changes to the dataset will be made only after careful consideration. March 1st of each year, beginning in 2014, will be the annual release date for all future releases to the Version 3 dataset. A comment period and mechanism will be made available.
