EMS charting advice (BLS)

*** Do Not Send Protected Health Information ***
We can exchange a couple emails, chat on the phone for 20-30 minutes, Skype, etc. We will discuss best practices of what should be included on a chart and how to professionally convey information. We will review why it is important to document pertinent negatives and common examples of such.
Remember: if a call goes to court, it might not be until years after the event. Your documentation might be the only information available to help you remember what happened.
(Do not tell me the patient's name, address, SSN, or other identifiable information. I'll help you write a better patient care report, just keep it HIPPA-compliant.)
Training & Qualifications
I've been an EMT since 2009. I've volunteered, worked in commercial EMS, and now am employed by a hospital-based system. I'm also an EMS Instructor and I have been on a QA committee. I've attended multiple continuing education classes on the topic of writing thorough, defensible, billable patient care reports. I've used several ePCR programs, including EMSCharts, ESO, Zoll, and others.
