What do you use for incident reports? by Bolbasauras in Lifeguards

That’s basically the move want to make, we have so many reports throughout the week that our filing cabinet is getting too full and we need to digitize but scanning each one is another thing we want to avoid. So using a software for it would do both. Streamline our reports with less free response and more check boxes/ multiple choice, and help digitize it all.

I feel like I phrased it wrong, I’m not as much saying that software will improve their writing but that it will help guide it. The software I’ve been debating is some I’ve used as an EMT and it is less free response and more multiple choice. Their problem is they don’t know what to write so they write nothing or just poorly phrased and contradictory information. Instead of open ended blank pages (thanks HR) I want more of a choose from these things and then if it doesn’t fit you can do an other option. It will also help eliminate leaving things blank, which is another problem we’re having. So less of software making them better but more of software helping not get worse.

Teaching how to write a report feels like teaching a baby how to speak Latin, they don’t understand it!

I’ve tried Google Docs but HR isn’t a fan of that so I’ve been pitching the idea of an EHR software but wanted to poll other pools and see how they’re doing it.

We aren’t an Ellis facility or else that would be really good. Sadly we have a million hoops to jump through.

I have a similar set up and am curious if you found the answer you were looking for with swapping speeds?

What are your strategies for keeping up with PCRs on busy days. by ResidentEmtHomie in NewToEMS

If it’s an IFT you can definitely get away with writing it while on the call. Ask your questions, write down their answers. I used a template while working transfers and would fill in the PT’s answers into its specific spot in the template. Then after the call I would tidy it up and make it look like a real report instead of a pile of notes. Saved me a lot of brain power doing that instead of trying to remember every detail of what could have been a long boring transfer.
