Document Acquisition

Taking the "manual" out of manual data entry!

Document Acquisition refers to the process of capturing Patient Care Records (PCR) and any other incident-related documentation in digital form in order to make that documentation and its corresponding data available electronically to FireMed Pro users.

In simple terms, here's how it works:

• Field personnel complete and submit patient care documentation following an EMS response.

• Patient Care Records (click here to view a sample) are then digitally scanned. Any additional documentation can be stored electronically with the PCR - including scanned paper documents, electronic documents, scanned photos, digital photos, movie and voice files, and digital output from medical devices.

• Specific data, such as hand-printed or machine-printed characters, bar codes or check marked fields, are automatically "lifted" from the PCR and passed to FireMed Pro's recognition engines for interpretation.

• PCR's requiring data verification are identified and displayed to an operator for verification/correction.

• Incident data and document images are then available for user query, analysis, and reporting using FireMed Pro's image and data management capabilities.
