Most Australian services are exploring ePCR opportunities as digital transformation becomes a priority for State Health systems. They aim to integrate pre-hospital data into patients’ digital health records for better visibility across the continuum of patient care.
I’ll discuss what to look for in an ePCR based on what has been important for my colleagues and I over the past two decades working with and managing ePCR systems. Exploring:
Care in the community
-We can’t keep putting ambulances on the road. Community Paramedicine will continue to increase. In some cases, it’s funded and implemented before the service and the system is ready. How would your current PCR accommodate, see and treat, different assessments, longitudinal care, re visits etc.
Improved accuracy
-Imported vital signs, medication scanning.
Real-time access to patient information
-There is a wealth of medical information that as paramedics we have no access to situational intelligence.
Improved research
-Paramedic-lead research will continue to develop as we take the reins and increasingly lead our profession. Can your PCR accommodate randomising, enrolling, and recording of research data?
Compliance and regulatory
Revenue recognition
-Increasing competition for scarce health dollar, this will become important for ambulance services that have allowances for revenue recognition from compensable cases.
Ramped Patients
-How does your PCR system currently manage ramped patients?
We’ll showcase some of the capabilities that are available today including.
-Monitor integration – Zoll and Corplus
-How to configure your PCR
-Decision-support
-Hospital benefits – Real-time patient information
-Ramped Patients
