Data, Research, and Public Information Requests

Public information includes all data and records held by MIEMSS, regardless of form or format, that are not confidential or otherwise prohibited from public disclosure by law. Any person, including corporations, associations, public interest groups, the news media and private individuals can submit requests for public information.

The MIEMSS Data Team reviews all data requests. The Data Team determines what data, datasets, or analytics may be released. MIEMSS is generally prohibited by law from releasing identifiable patient data. In rare instances, MIEMSS may participate in IRB approved research, using identifiable data, when MIEMSS determines that the research would benefit the citizens of Maryland.

MIEMSS is legally prohibited from releasing records that identify individuals. MIEMSS does not keep financial information related to patient transport. For patient transport or billing records, information may be available through the jurisdiction or county responsible for transport.
