EMS-Related Research Poised for Significant Advancement
The amount and quality of research into therapies and treatments for prehospital care is likely to improve significantly thanks to a collaborative, long-term project undertaken by EMS systems and hospitals in the United States and Canada. The Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (ROC) will conduct scientific and clinical research on prehospital emergency care specifically related to the treatment of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and traumatic injury. | |

Interfacility Transport "Best Practices" Sought
