Designed to automate the calculation of Emergency Medical Service (EMS) quality metrics, 'nemsqar' implements measures defined by the National EMS Quality Alliance (NEMSQA). By providing reliable, evidence-based quality assessments, the package supports EMS agencies, healthcare providers, and researchers in evaluating and improving patient outcomes. Users can find details on all approved NEMSQA measures at https://www.nemsqa.org/measures. Full technical specifications, including documentation and pseudocode used to develop 'nemsqar', are available on the NEMSQA website after creating a user profile at https://www.nemsqa.org.
