This will provide more details on crashes and add injuries where the police were not involved. The plans are just beginning and include (1) collecting EMS data from the Public Health Department’s parent agency, Alameda County Health; (2) working with Highland Hospital to get institutional review board (IRB) approval and oversight to protect confidentiality; (3) working with Highland Hospital to get trauma and/or emergency department data; (4) match these data sources; (5) examine the results and share them with Oakland Department of Transportation in an aggregated way. The Alameda County Public Health Department is using the San Francisco Vision Zero program (https://www.visionzerosf.org/) as a model. ● Speakers: Matt Beyers, Supervising Epidemiologist at Alameda County Public Health Department; Megan Wier, Assistant Director at City of Oakland Department of Transportation (OakDOT)
