The dispositions added will help our investigation and contact tracing processes with our public health partners.

Removed requirement for Travel screening for Resp/Flu Complaints

The Riverside County ePCR system will no longer require travel screening questions with patients with flu/respiratory complaints.


The fields, however, will remain visible and optional for Paramedic's and EMTs can answer if their clinical judgement dictates asking those questions. If there is a "Yes" answer still optionally answered then the rest of the fields will still be required.
