Validation: Specified values will be validated against the IDPH table of defined EMS System Number table.

NOTE: in the preceeding list there are some elements omitted which are not in the list of Illinois Elements, but which are required for NEMSIS compliance. These elements should be exported as required by NEMSIS, in order for your export to pass structural validation checks, but will be otherwise ignored by the state's system - so you can output the minimum required by the NEMSIS XSDs, and need not worry about their content. The following elements fall into this category:

E02_05 (PrimaryRoleoftheUnit)E02_12 (EMSUnitCallSign)

The data the state collects is all from transporting agencies, so E02_05 always has the value 75 (Transport) in the state's system; and E02_12 always contains a unit identifier derived from the Agency and Vehicle IDs specified in elements E02_01 (EMSAgencyNumber) and E02_11 (EMSUnit/VehicleNumber).
