Patient Details

The details panel includes patient demographics, images, ECGs, audio clips, and more. The image below shows the Patient Details panel.
NOTE: The patient details panel will display only information that has been added to the patient channel. In order to provide access to all of the information in the panel, it scrolls vertically.
Patient Labels
A label is a way to add a tag to a patient channel that displays relevant information throughout the patient journey. Adding labels to a patient channel quickly communicates important information to everyone who encounters the patient. A few examples of labels are “COVID+” or “Isolation Required”. For more details on How to Add Labels to a Patient Channel click here.
Patient Timeline
See an expanded chronological listing of important patient events including First Contact, EMS Scene Departure, ED Arrival, and more. Below each entry in the timeline, the entity is displayed for the associated event. The Timeline shows times that were set and not set to aid in QA after the patient event is stopped.
View and Add Images & ECGs
In the Images and ECGs sections, any attached Images or ECGs can be viewed. Images and ECGs can also be added to the channel by selecting + Add and then selecting Images or ECGs. The panel will display a thumbnail preview of each image that is attached to the patient channel. If a closer look is needed, click on the image to view a larger version of it.
Listen and Add Audio Clips
Audio Clips that have been attached to the case in mobile will be available for listening in the Audio Clips section.

- EMS Transport is a request for the health care facility to take over care for the incoming patient.
- Handoffs, Consults, Transfers are requests where one entity asks that another entity either participate in or take over patient care.
