Introduction: Traffic crash reports lack detailed information about emergency medical service (EMS) responses, the injuries, and the associated treatments, limiting the ability of safety analysts to account for that information. Integrating data from other sources can enable a better understanding of characteristics of serious crashes and further explain variance in injury outcomes. In this research, an approach is proposed and implemented to link crash data to EMS run data, patient care reports, and trauma registry data. Method: A heuristic framework is developed to match EMS run reports to crashes through time, location, and other indicators present in both datasets. Types of matches between EMS and crashes were classified. To investigate the fidelity of the match approach, a manual review of a sample of data was conducted. A comparative bias analysis was implemented on several key variables.
