Summary:Project Summary The PIE project evolved from the recognition by three federal agencies with oversight responsibility for EMS-the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)-that there are common regulatory, legislative, and financial barriers to EMS innovation faced in nearly every community. External stakeholder organizations represented included the Emergency Nurses Association, Visiting Nurse Associations of America, National Association of County and City Health Officials, Cigna HealthSpring, Kaiser Permanente, Geisinger Health System, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Mesa (Ariz.) City Council, and Institute for Healthcare Improvement. Strategies for implementing processes that bring value to EMS data may include: * Partnerships with organizations such as the American Heart Association, American Stroke Association, and American College of Surgeons to incorporate specific EMS data elements as a requirement for accreditation as a cardiac, stroke, or trauma center; * Development of a single data repository and reporting process for care of CPR, STEMI, stroke, and trauma; * Development of publicly accessible dashboards for comprehensive outcome reporting for care processes across the continuum (prehospital to hospital discharge) and patient outcomes; * Requiring EMS agencies and hospitals to report specific data elements as a condition of licensure, accreditation, and/or payment.
