Understand the interface

Once you have logged into FH Medic and added a new incident, the interface is organized into several discrete components:

  • A menu under the FH logo
  • Tabs organizing data into large groups
  • Sub-tabs to further organize fields
  • A list of fields on each of the sub-tabs
  • A data selection/entry area for entering your data
  • Buttons for performing actions with your data

Tab Lets you record
Response Information about the incident itself, call times, National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) data, and a narrative.
Patient The demographics of the person, their past medical history, medications they are taking, allergies they may have, and insurance information.
Situation Information about the medical or traumatic complaint, the assessments, symptoms, and injuries.
Events The treatments and supplies used, and record the patient's vital signs.
Summary Disposition information record signatures, and add additional narrative information.

Tabs and fields with red text indicate required information when entering data for an incident. As you enter data for the required fields, the field names turn black. When all of the required fields on a required sub-tab have data, the name of the sub-tab also turns black. When all of the required fields on all of the required sub-tabs have data, the name and icon of the primary tab turns blue.

Note: As soon as you enter data, it is relayed to the server using a wireless connection, eliminating the need to "save" data as you work.
