- GCS
If your results are abnormal (not 15), you need to relay in report which
component is less than expected. Serial reassessment is not possible without
this piece of information.
Trending is more important than any one reading.
- Rhythm strips and 12 lead EKG’s
If these are obtained in the field, you must add your interpretation to the
Documentation in the patient care run report.
If your 12 lead EKG does not print a 6 second rhythm strip, you must also
attach a rhythm strip with a 12 lead EKG to the patient’s medical record.
This is not new - this has always been a part of documentation!
