DESCRIPTION (PROVIDED BY APPLICANT): Emergency medical services (EMS) are a vital part of healthcare delivery for the most severely ill and injured patients. EMS providers are needed to respond to recurring medical emergencies as well as mass casualty events such as natural disasters and terrorist attacks. Despite its importance, EMS is among the least understood and least monitored areas of the health sector. To facilitate improvements in the quality and coordination of EMS systems, the Rutgers Center for State Health Policy (CSHP) proposes to sponsor an invitational conference on EMS research and performance. The conference will bring together researchers, EMS stakeholders, and EMS regulators to achieve the following specific goals: 1. Create an agenda to integrate EMS research with the broader discipline of health services research. 2. Identify opportunities to link EMS databases with other data used by health services researchers. 3. Identify priority measures of EMS quality with emphasis on measures that contribute to quality assessment across entire episodes of care. 4. Develop methods for turning EMS research into practice by incorporating perspectives and concerns of EMS stakeholders and regulators. 5. Identify lessons learned from recent EMS innovations across the U.S. The one-day conference will feature presentations and discussions that include experts on EMS systems, data, and oversight; healthcare quality; and relations between hospitals and EMS providers. The conference is intended to be a catalyst for future collaborative research that connects EMS activity with broader healthcare policy and qualityimprovement initiatives. Toward that end, the final project report will identify important unanswered research questions, core EMS quality and performance measures, and specific data collection efforts that are required to implement the measures.

描述（由申请人提供）：紧急医疗服务（EMS）是为最严重的疾病和受伤患者提供医疗保健的重要组成部分。EMS供应商需要应对经常性的医疗紧急情况以及自然灾害和恐怖袭击等大规模伤亡事件。尽管环管系统很重要，但它是卫生部门最不了解和监测最少的领域之一。为了促进EMS系统的质量和协调的改进，罗格斯州卫生政策中心（CSHP）提议赞助一个关于EMS研究和性能的邀请会议。会议将汇集研究人员，EMS利益相关者和EMS监管机构，以实现以下具体目标： 1.创建一个议程，将EMS研究与更广泛的卫生服务研究学科相结合。 2.确定EMS数据库与卫生服务研究人员使用的其他数据的链接机会。 3.确定EMS质量的优先措施，重点是有助于整个护理过程质量评估的措施。 4.通过纳入环境管理体系利益相关者和监管机构的观点和关注，制定将环境管理体系研究付诸实践的方法。 5.为期一天的会议将进行演讲和讨论，包括EMS系统，数据和监督专家;医疗质量;以及医院和EMS供应商之间的关系。 该会议旨在成为未来合作研究的催化剂，将EMS活动与更广泛的医疗保健政策和质量改进计划联系起来。为此目的，最后项目报告将确定重要的未回答的研究问题，核心环管系统质量和业绩措施，以及实施这些措施所需的具体数据收集工作。
