"Rewriting the same information twice" is at the top of any medic's list of things they would delete from their shift if they could. In order to precisely record timestamps and data, you have already recorded the dose, the route, and the time you pushed it inside OneDose. After that, you return to the chart and repeat the process in your electronic patient care record (ePCR).

Sansio HealthEMS and OneDose are working to close that gap. The clinical work you previously completed in OneDose now appears in Sansio HealthEMS without requiring you to touch a keyboard twice because the two platforms can now communicate with one another.

Weight-based dosage, protocol advice and real-time documentation as care is provided are all features that OneDose was designed to enable in the field. Sansio HealthEMS was designed to be the system of record, the ePCR from which your organization pays, reports and performs quality assurance/improvement (QA/QI). In the past, the two jobs meant two distinct entries: a live entry and one that was later reconstructed from memory or a scratch note. Errors occur during reconstructed charting, which is time that crews would prefer to use for a debriefing, the next call, or simply getting home on time.

OneDose transmits structured, NEMSIS-formatted data that you record at the point of care directly into Sansio's MobileTouch EMS platform once the agency has connected both platforms. The use of OneDose remains unchanged; you continue to confirm doses and adhere to protocol. What differs is that the information is automatically added to the patient care report rather than being in OneDose alone.

Operations include:

• Patient weight and weight-based dosing calculations
• Medications administered and dosing details
• Treatment interventions performed
• Timestamps for key events during the call

Because it was recorded in real time rather than recreated after the event, it appears in MobileTouch EMS as data that your medical director and QA/QI team can rely on.

After a run, crews will have one fewer pass through the chart. For medical directors and administrators, it means a patient care record that accurately documents decisions and actions made in the field rather than a memory of them. Additionally, for organizations using Sansio HealthEMS' Medical Necessity. When QA/QI and scoring tools are used, more timely and comprehensive data is used from the beginning.

Sansio HealthEMS continues to be the organization's system of record for patient care reporting, billing and QA/QI, while OneDose facilitates protocol-driven clinical decision making and point-of-care recording. By integrating the two, data recorded in OneDose is transferred straight into Sansio's MobileTouch EMS platform, eliminating redundant documentation and guaranteeing that the patient care record accurately captures field events.

If your organization already uses Sansio HealthEMS and OneDose, get in touch with the appropriate support team to activate the link. This is a solid reason to have that discussion right now if you're utilizing one and assessing the other. On Wednesday, Aug. 5th at 1:00 CST, OneDose and Sansio HealthEMS will offer a webinar to discuss the integration in greater detail.
