JEMS: Safe guarding EMS Clinician Data

The Interstate Commission for EMS Personnel Practice has adopted Position Paper 2025-01 to strengthen data security protections for EMS clinicians. Amid rising cyber threats, EMS personnel face increased risks of identity theft and data breaches due to inconsistent licensure data safeguards. The Commission’s initiative aims to balance credential transparency with security by limiting public access to sensitive information, restricting bulk data disclosures, and implementing stricter verification processes. Recognizing EMS data protection as a national security issue, the Commission urges all states to adopt these standards, ensuring EMS professionals receive the same protections as other frontline responders.
