Journey to Modernize Emergency Medical Services (EMS) into Hawaii’s Emergency Medical Systems of Care
In Hawaii, the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) System and the Injury Prevention and Control System originally operated under separate branches of the Department of Health. In 2008, they merged to form the Emergency Medical Services and Injury Prevention Systems Branch (EMSIPSB). Since 2015, this partnership has evolved into a strategic, data‑driven collaboration.
In 2024, EMSIPSB spearheaded data modernization across acute care networks, 911 communications, and air‑medical transport—identifying critical puka (gaps) and enabling faster, more coordinated responses.
Now, in 2025, we’re setting out on a journey to building a unified, resilient emergency medical systems of care network founded on six critical pillars: Injury Prevention, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) & First Responders, Acute Care Systems, Quality / Performance Improvement and Patient Safety, Emergency Preparedness, and Systems Integration. By weaving together dispatch, pre‑hospital care, hospital-based teams, surgical specialists, and post‑acute rehabilitation, our Emergency Medical Systems of Care will ensure every patient journey is seamless, efficient, and life‑saving.
1. Injury Prevention
Reducing preventable injuries through data-driven education & upstream interventions.
2. EMS & First Responders
Strengthening prehospital care, field triage, & 911 coordination.
3. Acute Care Systems
Coordinating trauma, stroke, cardiac, burn & specialty centers statewide.
4. Quality & Patient Safety
Implementing CQI frameworks with real-time data & standards.
5. Emergency Preparedness
Ensuring readiness for disasters, mass casualty & public health emergencies.
6. Systems Integration
Advancing interoperability across EMS, hospitals & public health.
