Emergency Medical Services Tracking and Reporting System (EMSTARS)
Prehospital Aggregate System
This system was implemented in 2002 and provides aggregated EMS agency response information. EMS agencies are required to complete a quarterly report of the volume and type of calls that were completed. Upon receipt of this report, EMS Section staff enter the information into a Structured Query Language (SQL) database. These data do not provide incident level specific information and cannot be used to assess the complete continuum of care. Agencies not currently reporting to EMSTARS utilize this system to report prehospital aggregate data to the department.

Emergency Medical Oversight Continuum of Care Data Warehouse
The data warehouse currently hosts data from the EMSTARS patient care records that are linked with hospital discharge and emergency department data from the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). A comprehensive data warehouse business strategy is under development to enhance this capability to ensure valid health information is accessible when and where it is needed to improve and protect Florida's health and well-being.
Data Request and Use
The department encourages the use of EMS data for the advancement of medical research. Additionally, EMSTARS data should be used for local, regional, state-level quality improvement efforts. Aggregated state-level reports and data request forms can be found at the department's EMS Data Reports & Research webpage.
