This feature allows administrators to customize ePCR sections and subsections to meet agency-specific documentation needs. By creating custom sections, agencies can organize patient care information in a way that aligns with their protocols and reporting requirements, ensuring comprehensive and standardized electronic Patient Care Report documentation.
Background Information
The ePCR Sections functionality provides flexibility in organizing electronic Patient Care Reports beyond the standard default sections. This customization capability is essential for agencies that need to capture specific data points, follow unique protocols, or comply with regional reporting requirements. Custom sections can be reordered, renamed, and configured with subsections to create a logical workflow for field personnel completing patient care documentation.
Required Permissions
To configure ePCR sections, users must have:
EMS Setup permissions
Incident Documentation module access
