The National Emergency Medical Services Information System (NEMSIS) is part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Office of Emergency Medical Services (EMS). This national system is used to collect, store and share EMS data from all fifty states and territories. The system's primary goal is to improve prehospital patient care by using standardization, aggregation, and point-of-care EMS data at all levels of government.
Hence, although ESRI developed Fire and EMS solutions, I'm not seeing them in the list of companies seeking V3 compliance. Why is this not a goal for ESRI?
ESRI has been pretty good at being very proactive in adopting standards for every industry. However, I wonder why it's lagging behind in this very important area, especially after the pandemic.
I can't endorse any ESRI solution to my current Fire Department because it is not NEMSIS V3 compliant.
So, please start either developing solutions with NEMSIS V3 standard in mind or, start partnerships with major vendors to integrate GIS Fire and EMS solutions into their software. You've done with everyone else. Why not with EMS?
Thanks.
