Work with input fields in the FH Medic application

The fields the medic in the field can or must fill out in FH Medic on the mobile computer is defined on the FH Medic administration site. The administrator can indicate whether or not a field is visible in FH Medic, whether or not the field is required, or has a default value. The administrator can also add selections the medic can choose for each input, indicate whether or not a selection is visible in FH Medic, and arrange the list of selections as needed.

  1. (If you have not done so already) Access the Configurations -> FH Medic page, as described in Configure FH Medic for the mobile computers.

  2. Click Inputs.

    The Configurations -> Inputs page appears.

  3. On the left side of the row listing the input you want to edit, click Edit.

    A separate browser window opens, and displays the Edit Input page.

  4. Do any of the following.

    ClosedEdit the input button default value, and requirement status

    Note: Due to NEMSIS 3 requirements, not all fields can have a default value or not be required.

    1. (Optional) From Default Value, select a pre-defined value for the field, instead of having the field be blank.

      Supplying a default value for a field saves the medic time, because they do not have to respond to every field in FH Medic on the mobile computer. The medic can override the default value you specify on the administration site, if needed.

    2. For Required Always, select Yes or No to indicate whether or not the field or button must always have a value for the incident to be completed.
    3. (If you selected No) Below Required Field based on following Incident/Patient Dispositions, select any incident or patient disposition choices the medic in the field might make in FH Medic, that would then make this input field required.
