The Division of Trauma and Critical Care within the Virginia Department of Health, Office of Emergency Medical Services (OEMS) has just released the VAv3 Compliance Report and Data Quality Report for July 2017.  See the attachments at the bottom of this page.  The reports are generated each month and provided to the Director of OEMS, the Division of Regulations and Compliance, and the Rescue Squad Assistance Fund (RSAF) Grants program.

Note: The reports are based on the last 4 reported months, instead of the last 12 months.

The deadline for EMS agencies to transition from NEMSIS Version 2 to Version 3 standards was December 31, 2016.  All agencies should now only be reporting Version 3 data to VAv3 as of 1/1/2017.  Any reports submitted by EMS agencies under VPHIB v2 after 12/31/2016 are out of compliance and are not included in the reports.

The data in the reports are compiled from VAv3 (Mar-Jun 2017) records as of 7/14/2017.

In addition, the compliance status reasons on the compliance report are shown below.  The bottom of the report also contains a key to help interpret the report.

Note: Compliant and Non-Compliant agencies are both listed on the reports.

• BR - Behind Reporting (Yellow)
• NR - Not Reporting (Red)
• FR - Full Reporting (Green)

Also, new this month, we have included a data quality report showing the average validity score by agency by month.

The scoring ranges for data quality are shown below and are developed as a monthly average:

• Green/Acceptable = 98.00% - 100.00% (Compliant)
• Yellow/Below Average = 95.00 - 97.99% (Compliant, If Isolated Month)
• Red/Poor = 0.01 - 94.99% (Non-Compliant)
• Black/Poor <= 0.00 (Non-Compliant)
