This version of the State EMS Forms was posted on this

Alabama began submitting to
NEMSIS in October 2008.

Alabama’s electronic, Patient Care Reporting (ePCR) software
is compliant with the National Emergency Medical Services Information System (NEMSIS).
The software, designed by GRAYCO Systems, has been customized for
Alabama’s EMS Community for ease of use, maximum compatibility, and to conform
to Alabama’s Dataset. A Third Party Integration Module is available to any
Providers for Third-Party NEMSIS Compliant software venders to share their data
with the state system. If integration is not possible, a stand-alone submission
tool will be supplied and can upload any NEMSIS Compliant XML File to the state.
As of January 1, 2009 Phase 1 (full reporting compliance) is
complete. Phase 1 represented the initial implementation phase. As of this
report, The OEMS&T is happy to announce that there have been over 250,000 e-PCRs
transmitted to our e-PCR server since January of 2008. Historically, Alabama
produces 600,000 PCRs annually. The current figure can be attributed to 2008
being the implementation year and approximately half the licensed providers did
not begin submitting until December.
The final quarter of 2008 was very busy and productive for
the development and implementation phase of the Statewide Alabama Trauma System.
During this period, with the assistance of the Alabama Hospital Association and
The Medical Association of Alabama, we established Regional Trauma Advisory
Councils (RTAC) for each EMS/Trauma region and held RTAC meetings in five of the
six regions. Efforts will be made this year to get the entire Statewide Trauma
System up and running. Right now, AERO and BREMSS are the only fully functional
regions operating the Trauma Communication System.
