Greetings NEMSIS Stakeholders:

The mission of the NEMSIS TAC is to enable EMS systems nationwide to collect and make available for use all relevant data to ensure the best possible patient outcomes. As we strive to achieve this mission, we are mindful of the committed efforts of our NEMSIS stakeholders; we could not do this important work without your expertise and support. The meeting was truly a working meeting as we focused on revisions to Version 3 Data Standard. We thank you for joining us for the NEMSIS Annual Meeting which was hosted this year at the Silver Baron Lodges at Deer Valley in Park City, Utah on August 20th – 21st, 2018.

The NEMSIS TAC is developing an API allowing software products to request state and national benchmark data based on the EMS COMPASS measures. The technical guide outlines a beta development made available to software developers to provide feedback on the underlying constructs of the project. The V3 Performance Measures Service Technical Guide describes the available API and highlights its application and additional features that will be present in future releases.
