Perform a CAD Download (EMS)

CAD Data can be downloaded at any point during or after a call. These downloads automatically input the Call Nature, Unit Info, Crew Members, Address, Times, and Mileages into your report and drastically decrease the amount of time needed to complete a report. Internet is required in order to perform a CAD Download. If internet issues are occurring please submit an IT ticket within ePro. Reports should always be started from a CAD Download wherever possible and the traditional manual entry report should only be done in instances of internet issues or when the CAD is undergoing maintenance.

1. While logged into Field Elite start a new report by clicking “New Incident” or selecting the appropirate Template. Confirm your crew information and click “Yes.”

2. Once inside the report at the top you will see a button that says “CAD”, click it.

3. The window will open with all available CAD Data. Select your unit’s Call Sign in the upper left and a list of calls will be displayed. Find the correct call in the list and select the button on the far right. NOTE: It can take up to 3 minutes for a call to be available to download, click Refresh List.

4. All available data will be inputted into the report. You do not need to change incident numbers. Continue your report as required by validation and proper patient documentation.

5. At the end of the call you can re-download the CAD Data to recieve finalized times and mileage. To do this, simply re-click the “CAD” button at the top of the screen and select “Reload Current.”

In the event any of the above steps fail, you can always do the report manually using the information from Active911.

Download LifePak 15 Data to Elite

Our LifePak 15’s have the ability to transmit all cardiac monitor data directly into your ImageTrend Reports, this includes Vitals, EKGs, Medications and advanced interventions like Pacing, Defibrillation, Cardioverting, etc. This functionality utilizes the internet within the truck to transmit wirelessly from the Lifepak 15 to ImageTrend, the monitor data is then downloaded within the ImageTrend report from the Physio Control Cloud. This process will automatically input Procedures, Vitals, Medications and Medical Devices into the report with minimal additional information needed from the crew members.

1. Wait until the end of the transport/call to download data. Once your call is over begin by pressing the Options button on the LifePak. Select Archives from the list and then click yes.

2. Once inside the archives, select the “Send Data” option, scroll down to patient and select your recent patient’s data from the list.

3. Scroll down to Site and select “ImageTrend” as your site.

4. Scroll back up and click Send. The cardiac monitor will then try to access the truck’s internet and transmit directly to ImageTrend. You will receive a message when this is completed successfully. On longer transports this can take several minutes to upload.

To download the data you have transmitted into Elite follow these steps:

1. On the home screen be sure to select your Cardiac Monitor number under the “Medical Devices” section in the bottom left.

2. Once inside your report you will see an EKG button at the top, you will click this button and then select “Physio Control Cloud.” This will display a list of all available Physio Data for that cardiac monitor. Find your correct patient data and press the download button on the far right.

 

3. This will import and create Procedures, Vitals, Medical Devices, and Medications where marked within the report. You will see the Timeline on the far right once the import is complete. You can close the timeline and continue to “Provider Actions” section to complete the entry of all Procedures, Vitals, Medications, and Medical Devices. Un-needed sets of vitals can be deleted.
