Overview
The goals of this project are to increase the use of the NEMSIS data collection system among EMS agencies; to develop a standardized system to acknowledge hospital readiness to care for pediatric patients that encompasses established standards and EMSC performance measures; to improve the number of hospitals that have written transfer guidelines and agreements that cover pediatric patients; to increase the number of pediatric emergency care coordinators in hospitals and EMS agencies; to incorporate family, youth, and consumer participation and cultural and linguistic competency into the EMSC program; to integrate EMSC into the state’s healthcare infrastructure; and to establish permanence of EMSC in the Texas health care system.
