5/30/19: Controlled Substances: Removed Two Fields

Based on the ePCR Workgroup meeting this morning, we removed the fields New Seal Number and Amount Returned from the 2018 PCR. These are under Admin>> Signatures>> Controlled Substances Grid>> New Seal Number (itControlledSubstances.004) and Amount Returned (itControlledSubstances.001). The validation rules pertaining to these fields were turned off prior to removal.


5/2/19: Stroke fields validation rules updated

Validation rules were added to the system for the stroke exam fields (Stroke Scale Type, Facial Droop, Arm Drift, Grip Strength, Stroke Scale Score) as noted on 4/29, however an issue was identified and reported to EMS Agency System Admins where the rules were flagging on each vitals grid addition. This has been corrected, and they are only requested once per PCR for the PIs and SIs noted on 4/29's update below.


4/29/19: Removed stroke fields from main two Vitals grids; stroke fields to be documented on mLAPSS subpanel with stroke exam.

Validation rules added to the system for the stroke exam fields (Stroke Scale Type, Facial Droop, Arm Drift, Grip Strength, Stroke Scale Score) where a Primary Impression or Secondary Impression on a PCR contain any of the following: 

  • Cerebral infarction (stroke/CVA)
  • Altered mental status
  • General weakness
  • Dizziness/vertigo
  • Headache non-traumatic


4/24/19: Removed stroke fields from main two Vitals grids; stroke fields to be documented on mLAPSS subpanel with stroke exam.

Fields removed from Record > Incident >Vital Signs and Patient > Assessment > Vital Signs :

  • itVitals.026 - Stroke Scale Facial Droop
  • itVitals.027 - Stroke Scale Arm Drift
  • itVitals.025 - Stroke Scale Speech
  • itVitals.057 - Stroke Scale Grip Strength
  • eVitals.29 - Stroke Scale Score
  • eVitals.30 - Stroke Scale Type

Helper text has been temporarily added to where the stroke fields were in the Vitals grids, as shown below:


4/11/19: Re-ordered values available for Stroke Scale Grip Strength so that Normal 0 is first.
