Also the Prehospital Care Research Forum (PCRF) held its annual research presentation/competition at the EMS Today Conference in Baltimore, MD. This year 46 research abstracts from across the nation were submitted for consideration. The PCRF selected 20 of these abstracts for poster presentations with the top four being presented in an oral presentation as well (see complete list and description below). Out of these top four, a single research abstract was selected as the best research of 2012. This year, the South Denver EMS Team’s Center for Quality, Integration and Research (CEQIR) – representing Porter, Littleton/Castle Rock and Parker Adventist Hospitals – submitted 5 abstracts. All five were accepted for presentation – with two of the abstracts selected for oral presentation to conference participants (roughly 3,000 EMS professionals from all over the world in attendance). Selected as the best research project for 2012 was the South Denver Group’s EMS team’s submission Incidence of Cryptic Shock in EMS Patients. This is the second year in a row the Porter, Littleton/Castle Rock and Parker Adventist Hospital EMS team has received the top research award from UCLA.
