Federal Initiative Provides Insights to Help States Reduce Transportation Incidents

Purpose

The purpose of the partnership is to provide near real-time EMS data that highlights MVC information vital to state, territorial and federal agencies, empowering them with timely and accessible visualizations designed for streamlined transportation safety problem identification and countermeasure planning needed to optimize the safety of the nation’s roadway network and its users.

Analyzing motor vehicle crashes, understanding why they happen, and what can be done to prevent them from happening is the intelligence gained. Working together, we will help all parties involved use dashboards to look at transportation incident insights from a predictive perspective.

Core Features Include:

• Nationwide aggregation of transportation incidents.
• Near real-time, configurable analytics.
• Ability to analyze patient outcomes across the continuum of care.
• Public displays of transportation incident analytics.
• Dashboards will present detailed information on prehospital clinical care and injury characteristics, including the severity and type of injury (e.g., head injury, severe blood loss, etc.) as well as life-saving clinical interventions such as blood transfusion, respiratory support, and medication administration.
• Dashboards will allow users to filter incidents based on pre-crash and incident characteristics, including geographic area; patient demographics; involvement or use of drugs or alcohol; vehicle type; vulnerable road user status; and road type.
