Mission: CIEMS is devoted to using information technology to improve the delivery of emergency medical services on a global scale. We believe that by creating a venue for information sharing, communication, and collaboration between all stakeholders in the emergency medical services community and the communities that are served, we will catalyze rapid advancement of the field. Further, we envision that beyond their traditional role in emergency treatment and transportation, these newly formed emergency services units will be capable of providing preventive health services to under served populations. To demonstrate the efficacy of our concepts, as we develop our capacity, CIEMS members are coordinating an emergency services development project in Rwanda.
