1、Designation: F 2076 01 (Reapproved 2006)Standard Practice forCommunicating an EMS Patient Report to Receiving MedicalFacilities1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 2076; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revis
2、ion, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThroughout all areas of emergency medical services (EMS), there exists a need for the EMSprovider to
3、 consult with medical direction and receiving medical facilities. These consultations can bepurely for patient arrival notification, medical consultation, or to request additional medicalintervention orders. Within the EMS community, no “standard” reporting scheme exists. Hundreds ofverbal reporting
4、 formats are currently used. Some agencies divide these further for those assessmentsinvolving medical from trauma. Failure to use a standard reporting scheme makes initial studenteducation difficult, makes recording of information cumbersome, and can lead to time delays in patientcare or worse yet
5、an error.This consensus format was developed from a survey sent to over 100 emergency physicians, nurses,and field providers. The 25 that were returned were analyzed to construct the initial draft. One cleartheme was present. Receiving medical facilities want to know the most important informationfi
6、rst . . . medical information that affects the logistics of running a busy emergency department (ED).With the increased use of standing orders, the traditional detailed report to the ED was often not seenas time effective or making any change in the patients outcome.This practice uses the acronym PI
7、SA to describe the information to be presented in a generic patientreport. P is priority information that is considered absolutely critical if only 15 s of transmission (orreception) is accomplished; I is important information that needs to be communicated if an additional16 to 30 s is available; S
8、is significant information that would be transmitted if an additional 31 to 60s were available; A is additional information that should be transmitted if 61+ s are available.1.
