EMS Pre-hospital Communication Automation Selection Process for Pilot

Introduction and Purpose

The Maryland Region Emergency Departments communicate with pre-hospital ambulances using semi-duplex radio platforms. These are rudimentary systems with many limitations and challenges such as allowing multiple parties to speak at once without being heard, radio interference, and lack of standardized format of data documentation among other issues. The ideal future state solution will resolve these limitations which are particularly detrimental to cardiology (STEMI), Neurology (BAT), pediatric, trauma and labor and delivery patients where specialty teams need to be engaged rapidly.

University of Maryland Medical System (‘UMMS’), will be acting as the sponsoring organization for all participating entities, listed below. We invite you to submit a Proposal for the Pre-hospital Communication Automation Selection Process for Pilot in accordance with this Selection Process Instructions & Requirements document dated, September 19, 2025, including attachments, incorporated herein by reference.
