    With respect to the EPCR, I have my benefits and my issues with the use of this item. We are in the computer generation and while most of us are quite adept in the use of a computer, some in the earlier generations and those who don't use computers on a daily basis(and I've seen this in action), have a great deal of difficulty navigating through the tablet . Hence, you are trying to enter information on scene or in the back of the ambulance instead of providing continued patient care. And, as we know, if you're on a call, you're out at least an hour on the call from start to finish and everybody wants to get back and there you are struggling to get the EPCR done and get signatures from both the patient and the hosp. Like everything else though, it's new . It's change. For a large volume agency, I think it'll work. For a small volume agency, the question has to be put forth "will it be cost effective.? My agency does not use this but I was exposed to it doing my ride time with Empress. I was able to pick it up quickly.
    As many have said on this post, alot of the drop downs don't fit the situation. Also, many do not type!! And the hunt and peck on the narrative or to add meds, etc. is very time consuming and frustrating to some. Add-ons, maybe a little more user friendly geared toward those who don't use a computer each day but most of all training before sending it out into the field for all the use.
    So, there's alot of negatives but at the same time there's benefits as well in my opinion. The less paper for me the better.
