EMSCOM refers to which component of the EMS communications system?

• A. Santa Fe Control
• B. CISM
• C. NMEMSTARS
• D. NM Communications system

Answer: (D)

EMSCOM is the statewide EMS communications system in New Mexico—the communications backbone that links dispatch, field units, and receiving facilities so information and instructions flow smoothly across the system. It encompasses the radio network, paging, dispatch interfaces, and the routes by which 911 calls and EMS updates are transmitted. It’s not a single control center like Santa Fe Control, not a mental health program like CISM, and not a separate data-reporting system like NMEMSTARS. Those elements exist within the broader EMS communications framework, but EMSCOM itself refers to the overall communications system that ties everything together.
