ImageTrend's 2026 EMS Insights Report Reveals How Prehospital Care Is Evolving Nationwide
Behavioral health responses increased to 11.7%, trauma incidents reached 2,317,428, and prehospital blood administration expanded, the report indicates.
- On Tuesday, ImageTrend released its 2026 EMS Insights Report analyzing more than 18 million EMS activations in 2025 across all 50 states, revealing significant shifts in prehospital care delivery.
- While previous reports established a national baseline, the 2026 edition shifts focus to how EMS is changing over time, drawing on more than 157 million activations since 2018.
- Behavioral health-related responses surged from 9.8% in 2023 to 11.7% in 2025, while trauma incidents climbed from 17.9% to 18.6%, totaling 2,317,428 cases; ground-based blood transfusions nearly doubled from 5% to 10%.
- Chief Growth Officer Joe Graw stated, "What stands out in this year's data isn't just the volume; it's the shift in how care is being delivered," as gaps persist: 72% of trauma patients had documented pain scores but only 18% received medication.
- Just over 3% of EMS records include hospital outcome information, limiting industry visibility into patient impact despite ImageTrend serving more than 3,100 direct customers representing 21,000+ agencies nationwide.
