The National Emergency Medical Services Information System (NEMSIS) is the national database that is used to store EMS data from the U.S. States and Territories. NEMSIS is a universal standard for how patient care information resulting from an emergency 911 call for assistance is collected. NEMSIS is a collaborative system to improve patient care through the standardization, aggregation, and utilization of point of care EMS data at a local, state and national level. NEMSIS is a product of NHTSA’s Office of EMS and in collaboration with the University of Utah is the host of the Technical Assistance Center.

This study evaluated advocacy services offered to battered women in Detroit, Michigan, and examined other aspects of coordinated community responses to domestic violence by focusing on women named as victims in police reports. Advocacy was defined as those services provided to support victims during the legal process or to enhance their safety. For the Preliminary Complaint Reports Data (Part 1), a random sample of preliminary complaint reports (PCRs), completed by police officers after they responded to domestic violence calls, were gathered, resulting in a sample of 1,057 incidents and victims. For Victim Advocacy Contact Data (Part 2), researchers obtained data from advocates' files about the services they provided to the 1,057 victims. For Case Disposition Data (Part 3), researchers conducted a computer search to determine the outcomes of the cases. They looked up each perpetrator from the list of 1,057 incidents, and determined whether there was a warrant for the focal incident, whether it turned into a prosecution, and the outcome. The Initial Victim Interview (Part 4) and Follow-Up Victim Interview Data (Part 5) were conducted from April 1998 to July 1999. During the same period that researchers were completing the second interviews, they also interviewed 23 women (Victim Comparison Group Interview Data, Part 6) from the list of 1,057 whom they had been unable to reach during the first interviews. They compared these 23 women to the 63 who had second interviews to determine if there were any differences in use of services, or views toward or participation in prosecution. Variables in Part 1 focus on whether alcohol and abuse were involved, previous incidents, the suspect's psychological aggressions and physical assaults, if a weapon was used, if the victim was hurt, if property was damaged, if the victim sought medical attention, and the severity of physical abuse or injury. Variables in Part 2 provide information on the role of the advocate, methods of contact, types of referrals made, and services provided. Variables in Part 3 include the type of charge, outcome of resolved case, why the case was dismissed, if applicable, and if the suspect was sentenced to probation, costs, confinement, no contact with the victim, a batterer program, or community service.

An extensible, scalable informatics platform for traumatic brain injury (TBI) relevant data (including medical imaging, clinical assessment, environmental and behavioral history, etc.) and for all data types (text, numeric, image, time series, etc.). FITBIR is sponsored by the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) and supported by the National Institutes of Health National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and Center for Information Technology (CIT).

The purpose of this study was to determine whether adult sexual assault cases in a Midwestern community were more likely to be investigated and prosecuted after the implementation of a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) program, and to identify the 'critical ingredients' that contributed to that increase. The data are divided into six parts: Part 1, Study 1: Case Records Quantitative Data; Part 2, Study 2: Case Characteristics Quantitative Data; Part 3, Study 3: Police and Prosecutors Interview Qualitative Data; Part 4, Study 4: Police Reports Quantitative Data; Part 5, Study 5: Survivor Interview Qualitative Data; Part 6, Study 6: Forensic Nurse Interview Qualitative Data.

The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) is a set of large-scale surveys of families and individuals, their medical providers, and employers across the United States. MEPS is the most complete source of data on the cost and use of health care and health insurance coverage.

The State Ambulatory Surgery and Services Databases (SASD) are State-specific files that include data for ambulatory surgery and other outpatient services from hospital-owned facilities. In addition, some States provide ambulatory surgery and outpatient services from nonhospital-owned facilities. The uniform format of the SASD helps facilitate cross-State comparisons. The SASD are well suited for research that requires complete enumeration of hospital-based ambulatory surgeries within geographic areas or States.

Prospective registry and biorepository of consecutive patients who present to emergency departments in the Detroit Medical Center with (1) an established history of hypertension (HTN) or (2) elevated blood pressure with no history of HTN. Patients are surveyed using validated Survey instruments including the SF-12 Health Survey, Patient Activation Measure short form (PAM-13), Berlin Obstructive Sleep Apnea Scale, Social Support Questionnaire short form (SSQ-6), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14), MacArthur Scale of Subjective Social Status, Six-Item Cognitive Impairment Test (6-CIT), and Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (Brief COPE). Biological specimens are obtained from consenting individuals. Other collected data include patient demographics, vital signs, physical examination, basic medical history, medications, electrocardiography, x-ray, and lab results.

From the MDHHS website: "The MiTracking Program gathers existing Michigan-specific environmental and health data and provides them in one online location. These data can be easily queried on the MiTracking data portal. Results are provided in tables, charts, and maps that can be downloaded, saved, and printed. The data provided by the MiTracking program can create greater awareness of environmental health concerns, and inform public health actions and programs."

Basic clinical measures for all patients seen at Detroit Medical Center emergency departments, including hospital ID, reason for visit, age, gender, height, weight, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and patient ZIP code.

To determine the overall quality of Data Management Plans (DMPs) at Wayne State University, the Library System’s Research Data Services (RDS) team evaluated the content of 119 DMPs from grant proposals submitted to the National Science Foundation by Wayne State University researchers between 2012 and 2014. The DMPs were evaluated using a 15-question modified rubric previously used by researchers at University of Michigan.
