OneDose Releases Separate Libraries for Protocols, SOPs, Operations Guides

OneDose Spaces introduces a modular library system within the platform, enabling EMS and fire departments to organize and access clinical protocols, SOPs and training materials efficiently.

OneDose introduced Spaces, a new product that enables EMS and fire departments to store their clinical protocols, standard operating procedures, operations manuals, and training materials in the OneDose platform as distinct libraries. Each library is shared with the precise crews that require it, and the OneDose AI Assistant can be directed toward or away from each one for any given query.

Every agency uses a variety of documents. OneDose has always taken care of the clinical protocols. The infectious-disease transport procedure, the fire operations guide, the SOP binder and more are all included. These extra regulations and files typically reside on an intranet that no one opens during a call, on a shared drive, or in a three-ring binder. Without adding it to the list of clinical protocols, Spaces integrates it into the app that crews currently have open.

A named library with its own documents and folders is called a space. Each department begins with a Clinical Space, which houses everything that OneDose has always had. The same folder tree, document viewer, draft-to-publish-to-archive lifecycle, and review procedure apply to whatever new area an agency establishes, such "Standard Operating Procedures" or "Firefighter Operations Guide," in exactly the same way. A doctor who never switches on a second space sees the identical app they use today, and administrators have nothing new to learn.

The space changer that administrators already use to transition between agencies is located at the top of the sidebar in the OneDose admin panel. Folders, Database, Notifications, Archive, Protocol Sets, and Review all follow the active space, which controls everything below it. Every place is listed in a Manage Spaces view along with its kind, capacity, and accessibility. Every area has a distinct audience. It can remain confidential to the agency that owns it, or it can be distributed throughout the organization, either to all agencies or just those that are named, with per-person access in cases when only one person need it. An area that is shared with another organization is only accessible by that agency.

The switcher crews that currently transfer agencies on the phone now have an additional tab for spaces. Clinical is turned on by default. A medic can quickly access the SOPs or the operations handbook by turning on more and using the Protocols tab to divide the folder list by space. Similar to protocols, content from the medic's own agency is saved on the device and accessible offline.

Only the places that the user has enabled for that particular discussion are read by OneDose AI Assistant. A medic may inquire about the protocols, the SOPs, or both at once. Medication references are returned as live dose cards, and the response is arranged according to the space from where each result originated.

Every month, OneDose releases new features, and Spaces is the step that transforms a protocol app into an agency's one-stop shop for all the information its employees require. An operations manager altering SOPs shouldn't be able to interfere with clinical material, and a medic looking for a cardiac protocol shouldn't have to sift through personnel policy. While the AI Assistant allows the user to determine the extent of each response, Spaces offers each body of knowledge its own container, audience, and location inside the app.
