EMSProtocols.online features:
- Mobile-friendly and light-weight web interface. This means quick loading, limited distractions, and easy to use by EMTs and paramedics in the field. (Click on any agency above to view examples.)
- Full PDF is available for offline use or printing hard-copy protocol books. This means you can have a protocol book in each ambulance as a backup to the online version. (Example here.)
- Fully customizable pages and interface. Does your agency use graphics and algorithms or does it use text in paragraph formatting? Either way (or other styles) can be created online.
- Search feature to find any word or phrase. If your field staff can't remember which situations your protocol allows Ketamine? They simply type it in the search field and a list of pages where that word is found will be displayed. (Find search at the bottom of every page in an example above.)
- Drug calculations embedded within protocols wherever they are needed. For example, crews can enter the patient weight and the protocol page will show dose per kg AND the actually calculated dose.
- Medical calculators are also embedded within protocols wherever they are needed. Stand-alone calculators are above, however, for example, the Parkland Burn Formula calculator can be customized and added directly to your burn protocol. Completely customized calculators can also be built including everything from transfer priority calculator or whatever you can dream up.
- Unlimited internal links. After your field staff finds a medication indicated in protocol, and wants to double-check contraindications, half-life, etc.; they simply click the medication name to be taken to more information about it.
- Change log tracking with automatic notification to a custom group of emails when changes are made. When the medical director authorizes a change and the change is made online, your list of email addresses will be notified with the change comment and links to the old and new versions. All previous versions are also available for reference at any time. (Find the change log at the bottom of every page in an example above.)
- References and citation management. Want to know which clinical studies were used in the decision to build a specific protocol? An exhaustive list of citations and references can be used to support your evidence-based medical protocols. (Find citations and a link to the reference page at the bottom of every page in an example above.)
