Emergency Medical Services (EMS) constitute a unique component of health care at the interface between primary and hospital care. EMS data within the pre-hospital setting represents an unparalleled source of epidemiological and health care information that have so far been neglected for public health monitoring. The European Emergency Data Project (EED Project) thus intends to identify common indicators for European EMS systems and to evaluate their suitability for integration into a comprehensive public health monitoring strategy. The article provides a brief overview on objectives and methodology in the form of a progress report.
紧急医疗服务(EMS)是初级医疗与医院医疗衔接处独特的医疗保健组成部分。院前环境中的EMS数据是流行病学和医疗保健信息的一个无与伦比的来源,而这些信息迄今为止在公共卫生监测中一直被忽视。因此,欧洲紧急数据项目(EED项目)旨在确定欧洲EMS系统的通用指标,并评估其纳入全面公共卫生监测战略的适用性。本文以进展报告的形式简要概述了目标和方法。
