Hospital-EMS Interoperability and Market Intelligence

EMS workers bringing patient into hospital.

About this eBook

Emergency departments are under constant pressure—from high volumes and capacity constraints to longer waits and bottlenecks across the hospital. This HIMSS Spotlight eBook explores how bringing EMS transport data into your analytics and interoperability strategy can give hospital leaders earlier clinical context, clearer visibility into patient flow, and stronger inputs for capacity planning and market decisions. It also includes a Q&A with ImageTrend on how Market Intelligence works, why state-level data connections matter for coverage, and what a practical implementation can look like.

What you’ll learn:

  • Plan capacity with better early signals: How near real-time EMS transport insights can help hospitals anticipate incoming demand and support surge planning and throughput decisions.
  • Turn transport patterns into market intelligence: How EMS data can reveal referral sources and transport trends that inform service line planning, growth strategy, and operational efficiency initiatives.
  • Get to value faster with streamlined onboarding: How state-level connections can simplify data access and coverage—and what a structured 90-day rollout (goals, champions, training, and adoption) can look like for health systems
