Emergency Medical Services Outcomes Evaluation

Clinical effectiveness studies to address EMS outcomes research require the development of sophisticated case-severity and effectiveness measures.  Outcomes research will allow future generations of Americans to have an EMS system that provides both quality and cost-effective EMS care.  This report describes a project that has laid the foundation for these clinical effectiveness studies to take place.  This project developed a "blueprint" or "set of tools" that EMS practioners can use to evaluate the effectiveness of EMS, or prehospital, care. 8.5" x 11", two color, 80 pages.
