Collect response 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. The EHR module automatically assigns a unique number to each new incident, and you need to identify the type of incident, the level of urgency the incident needed, the responding stations, shifts, units, and so forth.
