Truth be told, most veteran EMTs never got much formal training on how to write a solid patient care report. If you were lucky, you picked it up by shadowing someone only slightly more experienced. Usually scribbling notes on the back of your glove or a piece of tape, checking boxes, memorizing acronyms, and crafting that classic narrative intro: “Upon arrival, EMS found…”. And for some, those triplicate paper forms still haunt your daily routine (or your back pocket). It wasn’t fun then. It’s worse now. NEMSIS, billing requirements, and evolving patient care standards have turned the electronic PCR into the part of the job most provider’s dread. And QA flags? Let’s be honest - they’re often more about making sure the call gets paid for than ensuring clinical excellence. In this session, Nancy Magee offers a practical, no-nonsense approach to conquering documentation - from organizing your thought process at dispatch to handing off the patient and completing a report that serves everyone: your patient, your agency, the billing department, and yes, even your medical director and NEMSIS. Because like it or not, accurate, high-quality documentation is part of quality care - and it doesn’t have to be painful.
