EMS Agenda 2050

People Centered Vision for the Future of Emergency Medical Services

After more than two years of stakeholder and public input, the Office of EMS at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and its federal partners have released “EMS Agenda 2050: A People-Centered Vision for the Future of Emergency Medical Services.” The document describes a vision for evidence-based, data-driven EMS that is integrated with the rest of the nation’s healthcare system.

Released in January 2019, EMS Agenda 2050 is the culmination of a two-year collaborative effort. It describes six guiding principles to help individuals, EMS leaders and communities in creating a more people-centered EMS system.
