The leaders of the first responder and transport agencies (n=455) serving the 200 most populous cities in the U.S. were invited to participate in the JEMS 200-City Survey via e-mail. Conducted online, the survey included 118 questions. Many questions asked for multiple pieces of data. The survey response rate was 21.3% (n=97).The survey covered a variety of EMS topics: dispatch, first response, transport, medical direction, performance measurement, affect of the economy and system funding. Much of the information shared isn't publicly accessible and, in many cases, is proprietary. Every effort has been made to protect the privacy of the respondents. All data is discussed in aggregate and doesn't indicate individual cities or EMS organizations.
