Today, nothing happens without good, solid data to backup every decision that governments and corporations make.  Even professional sports teams use analytical data on such things as how to pitch to power hitters or where to position the fielders when a specific batter comes to the plate.  From an EMS perspective, with good data we can look to better structure the Medicare ambulance fee schedule to reflect the true costs of providing ambulance services. We will also be able to use the data to pursue providing medical care and reimbursement which is not just tied to transporting patients to facilities.
