Transfer Care - ImageTrend Tip of the Week

Did you know that when you transfer care to MEDSTAR or another unit (if you are working PI22A or Alva), you should change the "Destination Type" in the "Transfer" tab. By selecting "Other EMS Responder (At Scene Air)" or "(At Scene Ground)" you will not be required to enter mileage, transport or transport arrived times. If you transfer care to the unit at a different location (LZ) then you should select "Other EMS Responder (Air)" and enter the appropriate times and mileage. You may have to enter these items manually into the appropriate fields, but the times and mileage can be pulled up on the MDC as long as you give the info to dispatch.
