Provide incident information

An EMS incident is any event that necessitates a ground or air response to a call for emergency medical services by a public or private emergency medical service organization.

For each incident, you need to gather a variety of information, such as the details about the run and response mode, information about the incident scene, which personnel were involved in the response, the destination and disposition of the patient, the mileage traveled during the run, the benchmark times for treating the patient, and more.

Note: Before you begin using the EHR module, you need to contact your ESO Suite administrator and ask them to enable tabs, fields, validations, defaults, and so forth, so that your agency can capture the data it needs. The administrator can also disable the display of tabs and fields that your department does not need, to streamline the EHR module to only the necessary fields.

Information on configurations and settings that affect the EHR module is available in Configure tabs.
