EMS Incident Data

The purpose of collecting statewide prehospital data is to support EMS providers in providing patients with the best possible care. Montana statute requires all licensed ground and air transporting EMS agencies to submit a patient care report (PCR) for each patient encountered during an EMS activation.

As of 9/25/23, Montana has transitioned to the NEMSIS version 3.5 data standard. Visit the tabs below for up to date information on data submission and resources.

Data Submission

EMS and Trauma Systems (EMSTS) currently provides EMS agencies with access to ImageTrend Elite electronic Patient Care Reporting (ePCR) software at no cost. EMS agencies can also submit data using their own NEMSIS v3.5 compliant ePCR system.

NEMSIS 3.5 Transition

Agencies using the state's Elite ePCR were transitioned to the new v3.5 run form on 9/25/23.
Agencies using their own instance of ImageTrend should work with ImageTrend and utilize the resources in Help/University to complete the transition by 12/31/23. The state ePCR, validation rules, and facility list are available in the ImageTrend Library.
Agencies using other software vendors should work with their vendor to complete the transition by 12/31/23.

All agencies (regardless of software vendor) are expected to utilize the Montana Facility List, State Dataset, and Schematron Validation rules. Instructions on how to obtain these resources are provided HERE.

Please contact Shari Graham for information on submitting data.
