    Emergency Medical Services Outcomes Project (EMSOP) II: developing the foundation and conceptual models for out-of-hospital outcomes research.

    Annals of emergency medicine·2001

    A national paramedic clearinghouse is cataloging advanced life support services across the US. Most services serve populations between 50,000-100,000, with fire departments most frequently operating these critical emergency medical systems.

    Area of Science:

    • Emergency Medical Services
    • Public Health Systems

    Background:

    • Establishing a comprehensive understanding of advanced life support (ALS) systems in the United States is crucial for improving emergency healthcare.
    • A centralized information hub is needed to track the status and characteristics of paramedic services nationwide.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To create a national paramedic clearinghouse for information on advanced life support systems.
    • To compile an initial database of paramedic services, detailing their location, service population, and management structure.

    Main Methods:

    • The first phase involved compiling a list of 310 paramedic services.
    • Services were categorized by geographic location, population served, and management type.
    • A pilot survey instrument was developed and tested on six diverse services for future data collection.

    Main Results:

    • 310 paramedic services were identified across the United States.
    • The majority of services served mid-range populations, with the largest concentration in the 50,000 to 100,000 population bracket.
    • Paramedic services predominantly operated under fire department management.

    Conclusions:

    • The initial phase successfully identified and categorized a significant number of US paramedic services.
    • Fire department-based services are the most common model for advanced life support.
    • Further research through a comprehensive survey is planned to gather detailed operational, educational, and financial data.
