Jon Cameron, Paramedic / EMS Data Management Specialist joins us for a discussion on documentation and helping to tell the patient's story and report the care you provide. We discuss medical-legal issues, correct recording of treatments and medications, what to write in your narrative, when and how to call medical control, prehospital notifications, and bedside report. Join us and ask us all your questions.

When calling med control, making hospital notifications and at bedside, your communication needs to be effective.. succinct, informative and organized. Good documentation follows. What can be helpful in the future, is to stay at the E.D. and ask questions or, on a later call do follow-up. Remember, we're a team.

Jon Cameron, EMT-P / EMS Data Management Specialist are talking more about documentation. Remember this phrase from all documentation presentation's? It is soooooooooooo true! And, while we all have access to the latest technology... such as automated documentation and data transfer security for you ePCR.

As we start talking about documentation, let's get the correct mindset. Writing a great chart every time is how you tell your story. Sure, medicolegally, there are implications to charting but think of writing a great chart as how you're passing along your story.. your patient treatment so that those on the rest of the treatment continuum can plan and treat appropriately.
