255	Does Not Meet Advisory Ideal
The 2017-2021 Plan defined the data integration performance measure as establishing connectivity between the EMS records and the Trauma Registry, enabling EMS records to be matched to and incorporated with hospital trauma patient records. The 2022-2026 Plan adopted the same measure and hoped that funding would become available to begin a feasibility study of such a process. As such a study would discover, matching and merging records is a challenging technical task that, in part, depends for success on the quality of the reported identifying data. Data integration is an outcome with varying success rates. A useful measure of integration is more likely to be the number of records that actually find a match as a percent of all records that logically should have a match. Computing this metric at the levels of EMS agencies and hospital trauma centers will provide useful variation for local program managers seeking data quality improvements.
