Is it required that your EMS agencies leave a run sheet in real time? Not 
dropped into the EMR 24-72 hours later. Our issue is that we have not had 
documentation from EMS to indicate how much fluid was administered. We are 
working with one of the EMS agencies and have developed a short form they will 
complete that documents fluids and any treatment initiated. So far the 
compliance has been slim to none and its only with one agency (we serve appx.15 
EMS agencies). We have issues getting anything besides a oral report from EMS. 
Does your states require anything different as WV allows the 24-72 hour time 
frame; however, JC, Risk, and best practice dictates differently. In our 
physicians order set it states IVF 30mg/kg to include fluids administered by 
EMS.

We are going to work with our ED staff to document in the intake the amount 
given by EMS so that it can be pulled electronically. We have the EMS record 
scanned into Epic to verify but it is just a paper report so no discrete fields.

Subject: [Sepsis Groups] Provider orders or protocols for IVF administered by 
EMS

Has anyone figured out a way to include IVF given by EMS? We are struggling 
with this since provider orders or protocols must be
found in the hospital record and none of the local EMS companies provide this 
type of information.

The NYSDOH approved protocols used by all EMS agencies in upstate NY are 
available here:

https://www.mlrems.org/GetFile.aspx?fileID=10896<http://sophos2.st-marys.org:32224/?dmVyPTEuMDAxJiYwZjUwNTE4NzcyYzc0NGQ4Nz01OTkxQ0I4OV83NDA1NV82NjAwXzEmJjFkNWIzOTBkZWIwYmRkND0xMjIzJiZ1cmw9aHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ3d3clMkVtbHJlbXMlMkVvcmclMkZHZXRGaWxlJTJFYXNweCUzRmZpbGVJRCUzRDEwODk2>

There are no patient specific orders, these are standing order for all patients 
with suspected septic shock.

Has anyone found a way to comply with provider orders in the hospital record 
for IVF given by EMS?

Thank you for your help.
