(Aug. 1, 2025) – The Kansas Hospital Association is a member of the
Drive To Zero Coalition, an initiative to eliminate fatal and serious injury crashes on all public roads in Kansas. A critical area of hospital participation is with the Post-Crash Care Team. Do you or your ER teams ever discuss the length of time from a 911 call about a crash to when EMS pulls in with the victims of the accident? New data in the
Timeliness of Post-Crash Care Tool, derived from record reviews of 2019–2023 crashes, breaks down the timelines from crash to EMS notification, EMS arrival on scene and EMS arrival at the hospital. The data is broken down by county. A lot of factors can go into the timeliness of post-crash care, so feel free to share with and discuss with your EMS partners.
