The medical communications officer. A resource for data collection, quality management and medical control.

Abstract
Pinellas County EMS' Medical Communications Officers provide a wide variety of services to patients, field clinicians, managers and their medical director. The concurrent data collection processes used in the MCO program for performance measurement of resuscitation efforts, intubations, submersion incidents and aeromedical transports for trauma cases have been very effective in the integration of data from multiple computer databases and telephone follow-ups with field crews and receiving emergency department staffs. This has facilitated significant improvements in the performance of these and many other aspects of our EMS system.
