Completing an ePCR - Obtaining Signatures

Completing an ePCR - Obtaining Signatures


Heads Up!

We changed the way EMS providers obtain signatures within an ePCR. These changes allow agencies to:

1) Be more specific with signature requirements.
2) Configure Form Language for each individual signature reason.
3) Have more control over signature fields including pre-filled graphics, edits, and timestamps.

Our new signature layout was released on February 19, 2024. This article highlights the new interface that providers will encounter when obtaining signatures within a report.
