Data collected may also be reported as normal via custom reports or analytics.
Patient Medical History
...
Based on your configuration of Patient Medical History, you can also note whether a patient has a known history of a Coronavirus, regardless of the current call/impression.
To access, go to Configuration → Service → Chart Tab → Medical/Surgical History Layout and ensure your options include one of the ICD-based options (not “Basic”). The crews will then be able to type one of the values above.
NAME | ICD-10 |
|---|---|
Coronavirus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere | B97.2 |
Pneumonia due to SARS-associated coronavirus | J12.81 |
Other coronavirus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere (COVID-19 Confirmed by testing) | B97.29 |
SARS-associated coronavirus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere | B97.21 |
Coronavirus infection, unspecified | B34.2 |
Adding Custom Assessment Questions
...
emsCharts provides the ability to create custom page 8 actions referred to as “Assessments” where users may configure custom questions and answers to be included on the PCR.
...
2. After the assessment is set up, Assessments should be available on page 8 as a new procedure type.
Hospital Units
On Page 1, Referring and Receiving sections as well as the post-Page 9 “Patient Followup Page” there is the ability to note hospital units. We recently added a value for “Biocontainment Units” for any time the crew or the patient enters such a specialized designated zone in a hospital.
Special Reports
Some services have also used our “Special Reports” (aka Incident Reports) feature to have the crew document special circumstances. For instructions how to create your own custom questions in the Special Reports section, please see https://emscharts.atlassian.net/wiki/x/9_lFBQ
The Special Reports configuration is found via Configuration → Service → Code Tables.
