Pediatric mode
Doses shown are national reference ranges. Confirm every one against your own protocol and a length-based resuscitation tape before you draw it up. The tape wins over an estimated weight.

No patient details. This goes to whoever is running the beta, not into a record.

Before you write it, before you give it
Pre-View a New Prescription
Build what the patient already takes, then name the script or the procedure you are about to add. Every pair is checked in both directions — the new item against each thing on board, and the list against itself.
What the patient already takes
Prescriptions, supplements, street drugs and conditions all count. A label photo can go straight in from the reader below.
What is being added
For the ePCR, the chart, or the referral
Summary and synopsis
Turns what you found into a structured attachment somebody else can file. Everything below the patient block fills itself in from the check and the reconciliation you have already run — you supply who the patient is, where the list came from, and what you did about it.

What you did about it
Fill in what you know and press Build. The findings come from the check and the reconciliation above.
Share carries the photos with it where the device supports it. Email carries the text; attach photos from Save report.
Test the skill, not the memory
Interaction drill
Questions are built from the interaction set itself, so they cover whatever is in this copy including anything your service added. Every one asks the question the tool exists to answer: what does this meet, and what do you do about it.
Asking about medications in Spanish
The interaction set itself is in English and stays that way — a half-translated medical reference is worse than an English one. What is here instead is the part a crew actually needs bilingually: the questions that get the medication list out of the patient, including the supplement question most people answer “nothing” to until you ask it a second way. Pronunciation is written for an English speaker, not in IPA.
Study log — time on this tool, for your CE record
Counts time with this page open and in front of you, and what you did with it. It stops counting when you switch away. Nothing leaves the device until you export it, and it clears when the tab closes — export before you close if the session mattered.
A CE entry needs an activity, a date, a duration and what you covered. All four are in the export, in the format the NTCP platform takes.
State EMS offices — all 51
Scope of practice, certification and protocol questions are answered by the state, not by this tool. Set your own state in rmz-config.js and it sorts to the top.
Hand it to the ePCR
This program does not write to a patient record and does not hold one. It formats the finding and hands it over. Choose the visit type so the narrative says what kind of call it was.
Where to check something this tool does not cover
This set covers the prehospital formulary and the supplements patients most often take. When the answer is not here, these are the places it is. Your agency can add its own state board, pharmacy association or protocol site to this list — they appear first, in orange.

Interaction wording is written to prompt a question, not to direct care. Where a source and a local protocol disagree, the local protocol governs. Report anything that reads wrong — a correction is worth more than a compliment.
