The Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems (MIEMSS) is a government-administered organization based in Baltimore, Maryland, that oversees and coordinates the state’s emergency medical services network. Its scope includes planning, operations, evaluation, and research across volunteer and career EMS providers, medical and nursing personnel, communications, transportation, trauma and specialty care centers, and emergency departments, with a focus on leadership, medical direction, education, and public EMS programs. The organization licenses and regulates commercial ambulance services, maintains statewide communications, designates trauma and specialty centers, and participates in EMS-related public education and prevention efforts, aiming to ensure a cohesive and regulated EMS system for the state. MIEMSS serves the broader state government and emergency response ecosystem, supporting a wide range of EMS stakeholders and frontline responders through standardized protocols and system-wide coordination. A recent development is the launch of the Emergency Department Advisory System, announced in mid-2025, reflecting ongoing efforts to enhance coordination within the EMS and emergency care continuum.
