(Bismarck, ND) -- A new report documents data related to rural Emergency Medical Services response times and practices.
The Center for Rural Health at the University of North Dakota received a grant in 2018 to participate in a demonstration project for the purpose of seeing how 120 EMS agencies across the state performed during 911 calls compared to the national average. The recently released report found North Dakota is above the national average for pain management and intervention.
EMS agencies in the state ranked below the national average when dealing with strokes. The data will be used to renew and improve the focus on training and reevaluating protocols for stroke victims.
