NACCHO is pleased to announce the publication of a new guide, Using NEMSIS Data to Address Older Adult Falls at the Local Level. This guide was developed with funding from the CDC and in collaboration with the National Association of State EMS Officials (NASEMSO) to provide guidance for local health departments interested in accessing Emergency Medical Services data to address older adult falls prevention within their communities. The guide describes the characteristics of the data that may be available to evaluate the prevalence of older adult falls that occur within their jurisdiction and to monitor data trends over time for evaluation purposes.
If you have any questions about the guide, please contact the NACCHO Overdose, Injury, & Violence Prevention Team at [email protected].
