How to Migrate to LEMSIS Elite for EMS Agencies
Agencies that desire to migrate to LEMSIS Elite should submit an “Agency Information Update” form in the LEMSIS Licensing Portal. Requirements described on the form, such as most up-to-date vehicles, must be complete. Agencies submitting the Agency Information Update form will be contacted within 10 business days to discuss implementation plans.
LEMSIS ePCR Technical Information
The Schematron documents allowable LEMSIS fields, formats, and rules
for San Diego County ePCR forms. The Schematron also includes adopted
values for fields with defined options (i.e., dropdown or
multi-select). These options are coded in the Schematron.
The Data Dictionary defines the Schematron codes to text values
and labels. The Data Dictionary contains ALL fields and field values
contained in the entire national library; there are many more
fields in the Data Dictionary than are used in the San Diego County
ePCR form/Schematron. The allowable field value list for some fields
is too long to include in the Schematron (medications, cause of injury
codes, etc.). These lists can be found in subsequent tabs in the Data Dictionary.
Agency administrators and information technology vendors are recommended to begin integration efforts with the Schematron, and not the Data Dictionary.
