Research Presentations: In the last year or so, RAA presented a number of scientific research presentations at national conferences (below), and continues to submit additional abstracts to other scientific organizations.
- “Using EMS CAD Data, Statistical Methods & GIS Mapping To Create A Bio-Surveillance Alert System For An Urban U.S. Population” (National Association of EMS Physicians—Panama Beach, January 2003)
- "Using GIS Software, EMS Data and Spatial Representation To Support Prioritization of Public Health Prevention and Intervention Resources" (American Public Health Association—Philadelphia, November 2002)
- "Geo-Temporal Demand Analysis Further Improves System Status Management in a High Performance EMS System" (American College of Emergency Physicians—Chicago, November 2001)
- "Using GIS Software, EMS Data and Spatial Representation To Discover Childhood Illness and Injury Patterns" (American College of Emergency Physicians—Chicago, November 2001)
- "Using GIS Software, EMS Data and Spatial Representation To Support Prioritization of Public Health Prevention and Intervention Resources" (National Association of EMS Physicians—Tuscon, January 2002)
Articles: RAA is working on a number of articles for industry periodicals. Below is a list of some topics currently in print or in progress:
- Pocket Power Gone Wireless (your entire system in the palm of your hand-literally)
- Prioritization of Public Health Intervention Projects By GIS Mapping
- Spatial EMS (applications of GIS to EMS)
- Using Spatial Representation for Demand Analysis
- Clinical Applications of GIS for EMS Systems
- Child & Adult Injury Surveillance System
- EMS Role In Pediatric Injury Prevention
- Elderly EMS Transport Patterns
Pediatric EMS Research: RAA is collaborating with university and community initiatives in Richmond, looking at pediatric injuries and illnesses and how to effectively identify areas of need, develop and implement intervention programs, and evaluate the effectiveness of those programs.
Bonn Project: Partnering with GeoMed at the University of Bonn, RAA is exploring a myriad of way that GIS can be applied to EMS and Public Health.
