Directions
- Welcome to the First Due ePCR setup process. The next section we will visit is EMS Contacts. To access this page navigate to Incident Documentation > EMS Setup > EMS Contacts.
- Next, select EMS Contacts.
- Select "Add" to enter a new EMS Contact.
- You can select a contact from your personnel list or add one from scratch.
- For this example we'll create one from scratch. Most of the fields are straightforward. The Contact Type picklist is from the NEMSIS 3.x Demographic Dataset dContact.01 field.
- Once you've finished entering contact data, select "Add". That's all there is to it...you've just entered an EMS Contact for your agency. Nice job.
