The NEMSAC was created in 2007 to advise NHTSA and the Federal Interagency Committee on Emergency Medical Services on issues surrounding emergency medical services.
During 2008 the council recommended:
- NHTSA should work with FICEMS to assure integration and utilization of surveillance databases throughout federal agencies.
- NHTSA should encourage and develop relationships between federal and non-federal partners who are using existing reporting systems to improve the consistency of terminology and access to data sources on EMS illnesses, injuries and deaths.
- FICEMS should identify opportunities for enhanced federal collaboration in order to expedite the implementation of the EMS Education Agenda for the Future.
- NHTSA should publish a regular report card on the national implementation of the EMS Education Agenda for the Future.
- Efforts to expand, enhance and fund EMS research based on operation, financial and medical outcomes should be supported.
- Key performance indicators for EMS systems to measure and monitor performance should be developed and published.
