About IRECC
Intermountain Regional EMS for Children Coordinating Council (IRECC)
IRECC grew out of a federal requirement that each Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) grantee state reach out to other states to share information and resources and bring them into the “EMSC fold.” The first IRECC meeting occurred in 1991 in Grand Targhee, Idaho. Since then, IRECC has met at least annually in various states across the region. Composition has waxed and waned, depending, in part, on which state had an active EMSC grant or program. IRECC was formalized with the adoption of organizational bylaws in 1994. According to those bylaws IRECC is an alliance that promotes the improvement of the entire continuum of emergency medical services for children, recognizing common demographic and topographic characteristics and challenges of the intermountain region. IRECC will accomplish its mission through enhanced communication, technical assistance, and with data-driven development, implementation, and evaluation of programs or continuous quality improvement and research, training and prevention.
It has long been the aspiration of many IRECC members that we would eventually be able to share data across the region and to be able to use that information to design research projects, drive prevention efforts and collaborate more effectively in the area of training. This second edition of the SOR moves us one small step closer to the vision of an aggregate data set across the region.
