WASHINGTON — The National Administration of Emergency Medical Technicians released a national survey this week on how EMS providers use ePCR.

The survey details how EMS providers interface with software systems that they use on a day-to-day basis to collect and store patient information.

The survey was distributed to over 80,000 EMS providers from NAEMT’s database; about 6 percent responded. Participants reported using software from 73 different manufacturers and 115 different ePCR software programs.

The 18-question survey asked EMS practitioners about system usefulness, information and interface quality. Overall, users rated ePCR systems a 4.5 out of 7, meaning that they deem the systems usable, but see room for improvement.
