Proposed Project
Survey of 911 Emergency Treatment for Heart Disease and Stroke--
New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention
(DHDSP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC's Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention (DHDSP) was
established to provide national leadership to reduce the burden of
disease, disability, and death from heart disease and stroke through
its research and programs. CDC proposes to collect information
concerning pre-hospital Emergency Medical Services (EMS) practices
needed to develop solutions to the crisis in emergency care and to
effectively coordinate national public health interventions in death
and disability from heart attacks and stroke. The proposed survey will
be conducted with approximately 1,800 local pre-hospital EMS provider
organizations to examine staffing and certification configurations,
medical oversight, training, and the scope of practice of pre-hospital
emergency care specifically for cardiac and stroke emergencies. The
survey sample includes all 2,250 local pre-hospital EMS provider
organizations in nine proposed states (FL, MA, KS, MT, NM, WI, OR, SC,
AR).
The information collection will also include semi-structured
interviews with ten directors of sub-state EMS regions. The interviews
will examine organizational and administrative aspects of pre-hospital
EMS at the state and sub-state levels to explore similarities and
differences from state to state. Data analysis will include descriptive
statistics for data from the EMS provider survey on pre-hospital field
practices and capabilities for cardiac and stroke emergencies in nine
states representing all regions of the U.S. It will also include
qualitative analysis of information related to state and sub-state EMS
organizational and administrative contexts and their influence on local
pre-hospital EMS. The information collection will provide for
interaction with important stakeholders for partnering and cooperation
through the selection of an expert working group to review the survey
findings and assist with the development of recommendations.
There are no costs to respondents except their time. The estimated
annualized burden hours are 533.
