EMS Quick Report Form

Click on the version you need
( Excel , PDF )

The Office of EMS and Trauma has established this form to be used by EMS personnel to provide patient care information to the receiving facility upon delivery of the patient until a prehospital care report can be completed and delivered to the receiving facility and/or submitted to GEMSIS Elite. This EMS Quick Report complies with the EMS Rule 511-9-2-.14.

Notes on the Quick Report Form:

THIS FORM DOES NOT REPLACE THE NEED TO SUBMIT AN ELECTRONIC PATIENT CARE REPORT (ePCR).
Agencies should submit ePCRs to GEMSIS Elite within 24 hours of call completion, and hospitals may access those patient care reports on Hospital Hub. To gain access to Hospital Hub, please contact your Regional EMS Director and they will forward your request.
EMS Agencies may adapt this form and place their agency name on it, as long as minimal information is kept on this document.
By using this form (or one substantially similar to it), hospitals are more quickly able to contact the agency and specifically the crews if a patient that they transported tests positive for or is suspected of having COVID-19 or any other infectious disease.

Travel Clinical Assistant

Public safety agencies are highly encouraged to reinforce with their field personnel on how to identify potential travel-related diseases and outbreaks using the Travel Clinical Assistant. The TCA provides epidemiological facts and guidelines for clinical symptoms, transmission modes, infection control guidance, and any reporting guidelines. Agencies should also review and practice appropriate PPE levels, handwashing, and disinfection practices.

GCC Dashboard

In an effort to standardize the way hospital saturation/diversion status is reported to EMS agencies, GCC has established a statewide Diversion Dashboard. You can visit the website HERE.
