35 Clinical Paperwork As you well know, documentation is a critical part of EMS. As part of the certification process, the Regional Training Coordinators now do a Student File Review prior to course completion to ensure that all state requirements have been met. Darton students will bring a clinical notebook with them every shift they ride. In this notebook will be several forms that you, as preceptors, will need to complete for them. The following slides will show you each piece of documentation required.

41 Clinical Summary Log Because we have to keep accurate records of what kinds of patients our students see, you will be asked to sign a log sheet containing information about the patients that the students came into contact with on their ride time. Below is a rendering of the left side of the log sheet. Due to HIPPA concerns, we are no longer able to put patient initials on our forms. Now we must use a patient clue. See Below. For the chart below, the student ran 2 calls in 8 hours on 8/7 and only 1 call on 9/6. Date HRS AREA 8/7 8 EMS EMS 9/6 4 EMS PT CLUE AGE PED 10 Adult 20 Geri 10 Chief complaint 1-Red 68 G Chest pain house 2-Big 12 P Dog Bite dog 1-blue shirt 38 A Sick
42 Clinical Summary Log The right side of the page will look similar to the chart below: See the original form on the next slide. Because we have to keep up with the numbers of patients our students assess in each of the categories below, we developed a check system with the number of required assessments and each of the patient complaints below. On the C/P patient, we checked C/P, SOB, and syncope because the pt exhibited all of those symptoms. Check all that t apply for each patient. t Some pts may not have any boxes checked.
