Over the last several years, EMS registries and in-hospital trauma registries have standardized their data fields such that all EMS agencies and trauma hospitals capture their data in a standardized manner consistent with their respective data dictionaries as defined by National EMS Information System (NEMSIS) for EMS data and the National Trauma Data Standard (NTDS) for trauma hospital data. This standardization of data acquisition and electronic record submission enables comparative effectiveness studies within each phase of trauma care. Dr. Mann will highlight the latest strategies for utilizing the NEMSIS data set to improve trauma care.
