Integration with the MIH Module

We successfully integrated the ePCR and MIH modules, allowing ePCR to function as a referral source to MIH. This integration aims to facilitate a smooth transition between the EMS team and community paramedicine, as long as the medical condition permits.

2. Refer the patient to MIH:

Step 2: Admit the Patient to the MIH Program
