Quality Check (QC)
Quality Check (QC) documentation enables systematic review and assessment of patient care records for compliance, accuracy, and clinical appropriateness. EMS personnel and supervisors use QC processes to identify documentation deficiencies, validate clinical decisions, and ensure regulatory compliance with state and federal reporting requirements.
The QC section captures reviewer assignments, review status tracking, quality scores, and detailed assessment categories that support continuous improvement in patient care documentation and clinical decision-making.

Outcome Data Integration
The Outcome section documents patient disposition, emergency department outcomes, hospital admissions, and post-care procedures. This information supports continuity of care tracking, quality metrics analysis, and validation of EMS clinical decision-making through hospital outcome verification.
Hospital disposition and diagnostic information enable EMS agencies to assess transport destination appropriateness, evaluate specialty care facility utilization, and identify opportunities for protocol refinement based on actual patient outcomes.
