2011 National EMS Assessment
2012Co-Authors: Greg Mears, Beth Armstrong, Antonio R. Fernandez, N. Clay Mann, Kevin K. Mcginnis, Cindy Raisor Mears, Nels D. Sanddal, Teri L. Sanddal, Frances S. ShoferAbstract:The National EMS Assessment is a comprehensive report describing the estimated 21,283 Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Agencies, their 81,295 vehicles, and the 826,111 EMS professionals licensed and credentialed within the United States. Over 200 Data points provide detailed information and insight into EMS, emergency management, and 911 communications. Additionally, a total of four expert panels (two for EMS and two for emergency management) were used to better identify and define trends and industry patterns currently immeasureable with any Existing Data Source. Through this comprehensive assessment the following objectives are possible: (1) To understand what Data are being collected at the State, regional, and national levels; (2) To access the quality, availability, and comprehensiveness of the Data currently being collected; (3) To identify significant areas for which assessment is not possible at this time, due to the limitations in Existing Data; (4) To develop recommendations for a sustainable process to assess the Nation’s EMS system; and (5) To provide a written report summarizing the current state of the Nation’s EMS system, including recommendations for future assessment efforts.

application of geographical information system gis for mapping road traffic injuries using Existing Source of Data in karachi pakistan a pilot study
Journal of Pakistan Medical Association, 2011Co-Authors: Junaid Abdul Razzak, Uzma Rahim Khan, Sabeena JalalAbstract:Objective: To assess the feasibility of using Geographical Information System for mapping of road traffic injuries with an Existing Data Source in a developing country. Methods: The study was a retrospectives case series of road traffic injury cases registered with the medico-legal office located in the three major trauma centers in Karachi for the period of January 1, 2004 till December 31st, 2004. Spatial Data analysis was performed using ARCVIEW 3.1. Results: Out of 3650 of all road traffic injury, only 3% had locations detailed and accurate enough allowing mapping on a GIS map in the first attempt. Even after using detailed town maps and field exercises more than a quarter cases (n=1088; 30%) of road traffic injuries (RTIs) could not be properly located. We identified 25 areas of one kilometer or less in Karachi accounting for 27% of all RTIs. Five corridors of road measuring 27.7 km accounted for 590 (23%) of all RTIs with known locations. Conclusions: Existing Sources of Data from the medico-legal system in Karachi failed to provide exact information on crash site. Such Datasets can however be used to define high risk areas/neighbourhoods.
