NEMSIS maintains the national standard for how patient care information resulting from an emergency 911 call for medical assistance is collected. The data has been used to examine a range of topics, including the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on EMS systems and patient care. The National EMS Database and public datasets provide a valuable tool for EMS leaders, researchers, public health officials and policymakers.
