(a) An emergency medical care provider shall do both of the following when collecting and submitting data to a local EMS agency:
(1) Use an electronic health record system that exports data in a format that is compliant with the current versions of the California Emergency Medical Services Information System (CEMSIS) and the National Emergency Medical Services Information System (NEMSIS) standards and includes those data elements that are required by the local EMS agency.
(2) Ensure that the electronic health record system can be integrated with the local EMS agency’s data system, so that the local EMS agency may collect data from the provider.
(b) A local EMS agency shall not mandate that a provider use a specific electronic health record system to collect and share data with the local EMS agency.
