Shafermeyer R. 1993 (ca.). North Carolina EMSC Project: A Model System for Statewide Plan Development [Final report]. Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 44 pp.

Annotation: This demonstration project strove to enhance the emergency medical services (EMS) system in North Carolina by improving the system's ability to manage pediatric patients. The project goal was to create a statewide model EMS system that minimizes further injury or deterioration of seriously ill or injured pediatric patients prior to their arrival at a definitive care center. We created a project group and an advisory board to help achieve the project goals through a cooperative statewide effort that included representation from all groups responsible for the care of seriously ill and injured pediatric patients.
