The EMT should expect poor coordination when signing patient's name to the pre-hospital care report.
An Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), also known as an ambulance technician, is a medical professional who provides emergency medical services.
The primary purpose of the Patient Care Report or pre-hospital care report (PCR) is to document all care and related patient information and to serve as a data collection tool.
The documentation contained in the PCR contains important information required for further care in the hospital.
As part of transferring patients to emergency department staff, facilities must provide appropriate medical records, including demographics, events/incidents, laboratory results, and treatment details, when patients are transferred.
The PCR must be completed each time an EMS agency is dispatched for any response. These include (but are not limited to):
- Patients treated
- Patients transported
- Patients who refuse care and/or transport
- Patients treated by one agency and transported by another
- Calls where no patient contact is made, such as
- Calls cancelled before reaching the scene
- Calls where no patient is located
- When dispatched for a stand- by
- Special events
