On December 5, 2011, the Office of EMS launched a new EMS Portal module dedicated to EMS Agency administrators. The Office notified the Chief Executive Officer of each Virginia licensed EMS agency with information on how to apply for access to the new system.
This new module on the EMS Portal system improves personnel management and agency affiliations as well as offers expanded agency administrative access to affiliated provider data/records.
These new agency specific features have been built into the existing EMS Portal—utilized by EMS Providers and Instructors alike—which will enable agency administrators to delegate authority and access to their affiliated personnel as they see fit.
This new module implements 'real-time' access to records and increase the security surrounding access to provider and agency data.
Feedback from the field has been very positive.
"This portal is the greatest thing OEMS has done as far as being able to keep up with providers and their hours...this is a great step."

"This real time data will assist us in planning CEU training events at our organization as well as printing barcodes for all providers to scan instead of using the "old" bubble cards. This portal also is much quicker in pulling specific reports needed as well as providing information that is on file with OEMS such as OMD's."
