Government has equipped some ambulances in the eastern zone with a new electronic Patient Care Record (ePCR) system which will soon be installed on all ambulances in all health zones. Health Minister Tom Osborne says all ambulances in the province will be transitioned to an integrated ambulance system throughout 2023 and 2024. He says the ePCR is modern technology that allows paramedics and emergency department staff to do their job more efficiently while also improving the overall care the patient receives during emergencies. The ePCR system replaces outdated paper-based reporting with modern tablet computers. The new system includes instantaneous creation of clinical reports, and the information collected during emergencies is easily provided to emergency department staff and can be integrated with the patient’s electronic health record, which will improve information sharing and collaboration at hospitals and health care facilities.
