The NEMSIS TAC is developing resources to improve data interoperability between EMS and other healthcare providers. These resources will help ensure EMS can access patient information at the scene, send its patient care report to the hospital, and receive information about the patient’s hospital treatment afterward. Learn more about how you can get involved in interoperability.
