Project Description
Traffic Records Provides funds for the NM Department of Health, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Bureau to purchase service provider licensing software to upgrade the New Mexico EMS Tracking and Reporting System. The software will enhance the statewide injury surveillance system by improving the efficiency of EMS provider licensing, taking it from a paper-based system to a web-based system. In New Mexico, 9,000 EMS provider licensees must update or renew their licenses every two years. This licensing software has the capability to link each EMS provider with the patient care provided. NEMSIS standards will be incorporated into the system to ensure data linkage and comparability. This project supports the NM Traffic Records Assessment recommendation for data quality reviews of services and providers for quality improvement purposes.
