EMS News & Updates

Every Emergency Medical > shell update, newest first.

  1. ALS / BLS truck check + email a PDF

    The Truck Check now matches your rig. Pick BLS or ALS at the top and the list shows exactly what that ambulance should carry, based on Illinois IDPH equipment requirements — BLS shows basic gear and meds, ALS adds advanced airway, cardiac, IV, and ALS medications. Add your unit number, then tap 'Email PDF' to send a clean report: on a phone or tablet it opens your share sheet so you can attach the PDF straight into an email to your supervisor or QA.

  2. More clinical tools, easier to find

    Study Tools, Certification Tracker, Shift Run Log, Protocol Library, and Crew Chat are available from the dashboard and sidebar alongside the rest of the clinical toolkit.

  3. ClearShift Narc Log featured & landing page improvements

    ClearShift Narc Log — DEA-compliant narcotic tracking for EMS agencies — now appears as a featured companion app on the dashboard. Also: home page is cleaner with four primary tools up front and a compact 'More tools' grid below; Shift Run Log, Truck Check, and Certification Tracker now require sign-in so your data is tied to your account.

  4. Fresh look & terminal-green branding

    The landing page has been redesigned with a cleaner layout and clearer hierarchy, and the app now wears a consistent 'Emergency Medical > shell' terminal-green wordmark everywhere. A new News page (linked in the footer) collects every update in one place, so you can always see what's changed at a glance.

  5. Protocol Library

    New searchable protocol library at /protocols. 27 EMS protocols across 9 categories (cardiac, respiratory, trauma, neurological, OB/peds, toxicology, behavioral, airway/RSI, general). Each card shows indication, assessment criteria, numbered BLS steps, numbered ALS steps, key doses with amounts, and clinical pearls. Full-text search plus category and BLS/ALS filters.

  6. MCI / Triage Documentation Tool

    New mass casualty incident triage board at /mci. Select START (adult) or JumpSTART (pediatric) triage system. Tap-through decision tree assigns tag colors step by step. Large tap-to-increment counters for Red/Yellow/Green/Black patients with per-patient optional notes. One-tap MCI report generation with incident name, time, total patients, color breakdown, and all patient notes.

  7. RSI Sequence Calculator

    New dedicated RSI tool at /rsi. Enter patient weight (kg or lbs), select induction agent (Etomidate or Ketamine) and paralytic (Succinylcholine or Rocuronium). Outputs pre-calculated mg doses and draw volumes for all RSI phases: pre-treatment (Fentanyl, Lidocaine), induction, paralytic, and post-intubation sedation (Midazolam, Fentanyl, Vecuronium). Includes weight-based ETT/blade sizing, a 10-item pre-procedure checklist with progress bar, and a one-tap copy to generate a clean RSI drug sheet.

  8. Shift Run Log

    New per-shift call log at /runlog. Log each run with dispatch time, type, patient age/sex, care level (ALS/BLS), and a one-line note. Entries sort by dispatch time, persist in localStorage for the shift, and a one-tap copy generates a plain-text shift summary report. Start a new shift to clear the log.

  9. ECG Reference, Truck Check, Peds Card & ACLS Algorithms

    Four new offline reference tools: ECG/Rhythm Reference (15 rhythms with recognition criteria and treatment pathways), Equipment/Truck Check (compartment-organized daily rig checklist with copy-to-clipboard report), Pediatric Quick Card (Broselow-based airway sizing and 9 drug doses by weight), and ACLS/PALS Algorithm Cards (7 tap-through clinical decision algorithms).

  10. NEMSIS Call Times, Vital Signs & Incident Number

    Dispatch tab now captures Incident #, Scene Location Type, and a collapsible Call Times panel (Dispatched / En Route / On Scene / Patient Contact / Left Scene / Hospital Arrival) with one-tap Now buttons. Treatment tab adds a Vital Signs panel for serial BP, HR, RR, SpO2, BGL, and EtCO2 sets — all flow into the generated narrative automatically.

  11. iPad Copy Fix & Cleaner Narrative Panel

    Copied narratives now paste with correct spacing in all ePCR apps on iPad. The narrative view is also decluttered — one copy button, a compact format selector, and simplified tabs.

  12. Billing Summary

    Generate an ALS/BLS billing-level summary from any completed report with one click, ready to copy into your billing system.

  13. Dashboard Home

    New landing page gives quick access to all tools — Narrative Generator, Medical Calculator, Drug Reference, and Hospital Notification — from a single hub.

  14. Hospital Notification Builder

    Generate a complete SBAR-format radio or phone report with one click and copy it to your clipboard before arrival.

  15. IFT Mode

    Dedicated interfacility transfer documentation with its own 5-tab data entry and narrative generator.

  16. Medical Calculator

    12 built-in EMS clinical calculators: medication dosing, GCS, stroke scale, trauma score, pediatric weight, burn formula, APGAR, shock index, and more.

  17. Dark Mode

    Full cross-browser dark mode with OS preference detection and per-user persistence.

  18. Drug Reference

    41+ ALS/BLS medications with searchable, fully offline reference at /drugs.
