NOTES on pre-hospital elements (Updated 11/19/17):

- EMSName should be a unique identifier, not the actual name of the EMS agency, which must fit within character limit. Ensure no duplicate identifiers occur.

- EMSRunNo - use the same sequence of numbers for every run sheet if truncating. For instance, you could choose the last 7 digits or first 5 digits, as long as they are unique and will not create duplicates. In the long run, it would be best if the names can be standardized which will help analyzing in the future. Ensure no duplicates occur.

- All states are required to report the “Additional Data Elements” (i.e., listed in section 4.4.3 of the Coverdell Resource Guide) as part of each dataset – pre-hospital, in-hospital, and post-hospital. These three additional elements -- <statenam>, <hospital> and/or <EMSName>, and <patidnum> are needed to support record auditing and analysis.
