The Kansas Board of Emergency Medical Services (KBEMS) has recently contracted with ImageTrend, Inc. to provide offline and online applications and the state central repository for the capture and reporting of EMS data.

KBEMS is implementing a pre-hospital data collection system in concert with KDHE, KDOT and the 172 ambulance services that serve the State. The system uses a vendor-hosted off-the-shelf system configured to meet Kansas’ needs and the NEMSIS (National EMS Information System) requirements. KBEMS is assisting the implementation by providing a fully ruggedized laptop and client software to the first 50 services that volunteer to participate in the project. Funding for the project is provided by KBEMS along with grants from KDHE and KDOT.

For the reporting period: KBEMS gained approval of its detailed project plan for KEMIS in July (2008) and have since been engaged in executing project tasks and activities. The project team has completed 86% of the work and is preparing to launch the KEMIS pilot to five (5) ambulance services for 28-day trial and feedback period. All project management indicators reflect a positive trend and project activities are either ahead of schedule or on time.
