As in published research or internal ? Does the info get forwarded to either of the trauma centers in H-town ?
Not to seem like a prick, but alot of places claim research when in reality they look at their own numbers for self-falacio rather than reporting to an entity to make it public and therefore furthering general knowledge. Im a huge advocate for EMS research but it rarely gets pushed unless a resident or fellow gets the ball rolling.

I honestly don't know. For all I know our Docs might be wallpapering a bathroom.

Has it seemed like a beneficial addition in your experience? I've yet to run into a situation I could have used it, but I seem to be a medical **** magnet and haven't done a legit trauma assessment in some time.

We also are supposed to be getting blood out here in SC. Was originally supposed to get in October, now not entirely sure when, still within next few months is what I was last told. ( In addition to push dose pressors, doc was on board with them!)

I think another thing to consider with the definition of "progressive" is the autonomy of decision making with regard to treatment, transport, and referral.
I come from a system that only recently began dispatching nonemergent calls as code 2 and does not enable any sort of community paramedicine as the money is not there. I would argue that a factor in progressiveness is the recognition that not every single patient needs a code 3 response and transport to the hospital meanwhile enabling the field paramedics to critically evaluate and field triage patients. This could mean a referral to primary care physician, secondary means of transport to the ED if necessary, or dare I say a field prescription.
