58M, dispatched for chest pain at a private residence. Onset 40 minutes prior to arrival while mowing the lawn. No trauma. Found seated on porch steps, alert, clutching chest.

Signs and Symptoms

  • Initial vitals: BP 158/94, HR 96, RR 20, SpO2 96% on room air

Medications

Home medications: lisinopril 20mg daily, atorvastatin 40mg daily. Patient reports missing this morning's lisinopril dose.

Background

History of hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Father had MI at age 60. Allergies: NKDA. Wife on scene provided history and followed by private vehicle.

Illustrative example. Every note is fully editable, and you control the format — SOAP, DAP, or your own custom template.

Patient care first, paperwork forever

The next call doesn't wait for your PCR

Back-to-back runs push reports to end of shift, when scene details, med times, and vital trends from six calls ago have gone soft. Late, thin narratives are how good care looks bad on paper.

Every draft needs your review

Check the chronology, units, stated medications, and missing information against the source before transferring the narrative into your record.

Sixty-second handover, thirty-minute narrative

You give a tight SBAR or ATMIST at the ED doors, then rebuild the entire call from memory for the ePCR. The same story gets told twice — once fast, once slow.

Choose an EMS narrative or handover structure

  • Paramedic’s note organizes Identification, Mechanism of Injury/Illness, Signs and Symptoms, Treatment, Allergies, Medications, Background, and Other Information.
  • DA CHART EX (EMS) organizes the narrative from Dispatch and Arrival through Assessment, Treatment, and Transport, with Exceptions and Missing Information sections.
  • SBAR ATMIST provides SBAR Report and ATMIST Report structures for handover documentation.

Review the draft before transferring it

Treat the generated narrative as a draft. Before copying it into your record:

  • Chronology: Check the sequence and stated times against the source.
  • Units: Verify that documented values and their units match the source.
  • Stated medications: Check names, doses, routes, and times against what was recorded or documented.
  • Missing information: Resolve omissions from verified source information; do not fill gaps by assumption.

Template headings support organization. They do not replace clinician review or guarantee error detection.

Transfer the reviewed text into your documentation workflow

After review and editing, use Copy Note to copy the text and paste it into your documentation system where supported. Check formatting and completeness in the destination record, then complete your service’s documentation and sign-off process. This manual transfer workflow does not provide native ePCR integration.

Frequently asked questions

Does it write in EMS formats, not clinic formats?

Yes. Built-in templates include the Paramedic's note (Identification, Mechanism of Injury/Illness, Signs and Symptoms, Treatment, Allergies, Medications, Background), DA CHART EX (EMS) for CHART-style narratives, and SBAR ATMIST for structured handover reports.

How does recording work on an active scene?

Record on your phone or Apple Watch. Medical Scribe uses the recording to draft a note in the selected template. Review the draft against the source and correct errors or omissions before using it in your record.

Can it help catch documentation gaps?

DA CHART EX (EMS) includes Exceptions, Missing Information, and Medication Error Check headings. These provide structure for your review; they do not guarantee that errors or omissions will be detected. You remain responsible for checking the note.

How do I transfer a reviewed note to my ePCR?

Use Copy Note to copy the reviewed text, then paste it into your documentation system where supported. Check the destination record for formatting and completeness, and complete your service's documentation and sign-off process there. This is a manual transfer workflow, not a native ePCR integration.
