This document becomes part of the patients permanent medical record and is used in court in legal cases. It is also used to bill medical expenses. This document needs to be filled out when the EMTs arrive at an emergency situation whereas the other documents like a medical chart is filled out by the practitioners at the hospital and not the scene; and triage tags are used in mass injuries for identification on immediate needs and deceased.
