Are there timeliness performance measures tailored to the needs of EMS system managers and data users?

251Partially Meets Advisory Ideal
The 2017-2021 and 2022-2026 Traffic Records Strategic Plans both provide a timeliness measure. The 2017-2021 Plan measured the percent of all call records received by the reporting deadline (99.6% in 2016). The 2022-2026 Plan noted the percent of call records submitted within 72 hours (66% in 2016), which is the Commonwealth's new preferred measure. The evidence presented suggests that these measures, although potentially useful, have not been updated since 2016. It also was not clear whether the measures were collected at the level of individual EMS systems and reported back to those systems' managers.
