ESO, a leading data and software company serving emergency medical services (EMS), fire departments, hospitals and state EMS/trauma offices, announced it is partnering with the Virginia EMS system for a multiyear engagement to create a broad prehospital-to-hospital-to-posthospital data ecosystem. As part of the engagement, ESO will build and deliver a statewide EMS data repository and statewide trauma registry for the collection and analysis of data to reveal key insights and trends. Additionally, ESO will work closely with EMS agencies, fire departments and hospitals across the state to provide software, services, and training in support of Virginia’s vision to be the healthiest state in the nation.

The system will be live and fully functional for all state agencies by July 1.
