NASEMSO Monographs
NASEMSO engages in periodic data collection from state EMS offices to determine how each state's programs compare in terms of structure, services, and regulations. The documented results are very useful to anyone who is interested in national, state, and local EMS policy development.
Current monograph titles include:
"EMS Office Structure and Function" (December 2005)
"The Organization, Staffing and Function of State and Territorial EMS Offices" was produced by NASEMSO with support from the U.S. Dept. of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Since EMS has evolved differently in each of the 56 U.S. states and territories, this project examined the current status of the systems to contribute to a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing EMS in the United States. Fifty-three of the 56 eligible jurisdictions participated, including all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The monograph includes organization and staffing of each EMS office; the specific areas in which EMS offices have definitive authority; exemptions, deemed status and waivers; cost, complexity and criticality of function; and state and territorial EMS office profiles. Respondents also reported on trends in net EMS staffing levels over the last five years.
"Training and Certification of EMS Personnel " (April 2007)
"The Training and Certification of Emergency Medical Services Personnel" was produced by NASEMSO with support from the U.S. Dept. of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Since EMS systems have evolved differently in each of the 56 states and territories according to the resources, advocacy, political climate, case law and governing experiences of each jurisdiction, the training and certification of emergency medical services personnel also varies between states. Fifty-three of the eligible 56 jurisdictions participated in this project, including all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
