1. Emergency Medical Services Documentation Telling the Patient’s Story

2. 911 Call

3. In an emergency situation, all your attention is on the patient. The last thing you need is the distraction of paperwork.

4. But the documentation is important!  Supports patient care  Assists with transfer of care  Validates protocol compliance  Helps identify training needs  Justifies treatments administered  Ensures accurate billing  Minimizes risk exposure

5. Medics understand how important it is to keep accurate records, but even with e-PCR programs, documentation is a time-consuming, unpleasant task that has far-reaching impacts.

6. It’s 2 a.m. What’s on this medic’s mind?

7. What is the medic’s leadership thinking? Did we capture everything correctly for reporting and billing?

8. Don’t emergency workers have enough to worry about?

9. At the end of the shift, what are the real costs? INVOICE Patient Safety $?? Lost Productivity $?? Risk Exposure $?? Denied Reimbursements $?? Protocol Noncompliance $?? Inconsistencies $?? Slow/difficult QA $?? Total cost to organization $????

10. Perhaps your current situation forces medics to divide their attention between patients and paperwork. Both are critical, so what’s a medic to do?

11. Why not take a cue from doctors? They’re faced with the same dilemma: patient versus paperwork. Their solution is transcription, which frees up physicians to do what they do best: care for patients. Can that same value transfer to EMS departments?

12. In the Feb 2014 issue of JEMS, an EMS department that uses transcription extensively shares their story. The results on productivity, standardization and morale have been so dramatic that one medic noted: “Dictation is a medic's best friend.” -Todd Parson, 30-year EMS Veteran
