EMS Unit Numbers

Many customers requested the ability for EMS medics to specify the EMS Unit number for each patient they transport to a hospital. Starting in 6.4, users can configure the list of EMS Units available at your EMS Agency, and medics can select their Unit and associated phone number at the start of their shift.

And now, hospital users can easily see the EMS Unit for each patient and quickly tap the phone button to call the Unit.

EMS Medic - Shift Screen:

After a medic logs in, they will be taken to the new Shift Screen where they can select a unit from the list and easily update the phone number for the unit.

• NOTE: Pulsara doesn’t display a Unit selection box on the New Patient screen to keep the patient creation workflow as streamlined as possible for EMS.

EMS Medic - Active Patient EMS Card:

Users can view and update the Unit for an already created patient.

Hospital - Active Patient EMS Card:

Patient care team members at the hospital can easily see the EMS Unit bringing the patient and call the Unit phone with a tap.

In order to improve patient safety, we modified the Anticoagulants field for stroke to support a “Not Known” option.

Going forward, the default is set to “Not Known” for all new stroke patients.

Test Cases Won't Affect STATS

When users run test cases, entering "Test" as the patient first and last name won't affect your stats!
