Ten Things You Didnt Know You Could Do With EPCR

We all use Zoll ePCR every day, but who knew there were so many hidden features?

1. Stroke Alert!

MA DPH Coverdell Stroke Collaboration / Via massclearinghouse.ehs.state.ma.us

Adding an intervention for your activation of a STROKE ALERT documents for the hospital how and when you called.

(The same goes for Trauma and STEMI alerts)

2. Quick Log in ePCR

By opening the tablet screen while on scene, you can time stamp your interventions (and associate with who performed and success) Need Screenshot

3. Code Marker on Monitor

Hitting the "CODE MARKER" button on the Zoll E-Series time stamps any intervention (and can be used on non-arrests), to mark IV insertions, medications, etc.

4. Prior Incidents/patient contacts in Navigator

When responding to a call (911 or transfer), Navigator may show prior calls to that address or patient contacts with the date and complaint (need better screenshot)

5. Body Scan-- Objective Assessment

Draw on body, mark in detail all elements of physical exam. (Need Screenshot)

6. Set both crew to Driver

If you set both of the crew to Driver, before completing the PCR, you will always be prompted to select who is actually teching the call.

7. Using Time Summary

Want to make sure the whole timeline is accurate? Look at time summary, this gives you all the times within the PCR

8. Does your patient speak Spanish and want to refuse?

Make sure they know what they are signing by switching the language of the refusal to espanol! (DEAR KAREN, this is broken, please fix)

9. Fill up the fields!

While not all fields are required, the more information you enter in the drop downs the more you will remember if the call gets reviewed/pulled/lawyers…
