Canadian Paramedic Information System (CPIS)
Scope:
CSA intends to publish a national standard that will provide the foundation for a comprehensive Canadian Paramedic Information System (CPIS). This standard will be based on frameworks, common taxonomies and designs and evidence related to paramedic incidents, paramedic patients, services, capabilities and communities in Canada that paramedics serve. This standard will facilitate standardized data collection related to paramedicine across all impacted organizations. This standard will enable organizations to share knowledge, best practice experiences, and consistent data for analysis purposes and for inclusion in a national information system (e.g., database). The requirements for the database will meet the needs of the current paramedic profession and continue to support the profession as the role evolves / changes.
The content of the national Standard will serve as a valuable resource for multiple stakeholders. It will provide requirements for:
- common taxonomies;
- standard models, language, and definitions;
- performance standards;
- clinical, operational, and academic research;
- legislation and regulation related to:
- occupational profiles;
- scopes of practice;
regulatory frameworks
