Welcome
The European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) and the European Society for Emergency Medicine (EUSEM) have established a Joint Task Force.
EUSEM and EFMI plan to create recommendations and education tools for the application of information technologies in Emergency Medicine Systems. The starting point will be a minimum data set for emergency departments. Joint work will address IT tools and standards and will focus on the definition and format for capturing the Chief Complaint in Emergency departments. Part of the collaborative effort is a feasibility study that will engage EDs, EMSs, and industry throughout Europe as well as educational material that will enrich current curricula and is expected to drive implementation of the recommendations.
