This report spans various themes including Influenza and COVID-19, traffic-related incidents, behavioral health, alcohol and suspected substance use, fall injuries and more.

The goal of this research is to contribute knowledge and insights to local, state, and federal agencies, as well as the healthcare industry as a whole.

Collaborate provides insights and a higher-level awareness through industry-leading research utilizing a vast set of de-identified data sources including clinical, operational, licensing/credentialing, system of care registries and public health.

“It’s an honor every year to work on such important research that can help the EMS and healthcare industries,” commented Morgan K. Anderson, Epidemiologist at ImageTrend and lead author of the report. “The Collaborate data is also valuable to those outside of these industries and this annual report is a way to bring attention to important topics and the impact they have on our communities.”

In addition to Collaborate’s annual reports, supplemental reports are also released throughout the year providing snapshots of data insights on relevant topics that relate to patient care, crew safety, operational management and public health in the prehospital setting.
