I would like to know how every one else completes their patient care reports.

Pennsylvania uses electronic data collection. All PCR's are completed by computer software approved by the department of health. We print a hard copy of the report and then our Chief electronically file's the data every month with the regional EMS council.
Yup. It sucks, don't it.Originally posted by coloradoemt@Dec 31 2004, 04:03 PM
I recently changed from a system that was all computerized to one that is planning it in the near future. Had to go back to school on the paperwork side....
Sure does... About the time my hand quits cramping up from all the writing, I will get to go back to keyboard entry again.Originally posted by MedicStudentJon@Dec 31 2004, 03:05 PM

We're required in NYS. We get in trouble from the County and/or DOH for not having them. It shows the completion of your care - transfer of care to a higher authority. Without it, the state assumes you left the pt on the side of the road...Originally posted by shorthairedpunk@Feb 12 2005, 02:27 PM
we have a war brewing over whether we need a nurses signature on out pcrs. other agencies in the area dont get them and the state doesnt care. what do you guys think?
