Charting takes significant time when done correctly. EMS providers often describe it as “the worst part” of their day. The ZOLL emsCharts NOW mobile companion app enables paramedics and EMTs to collect patient data contemporaneously, while they are at the scene. Contemporaneous documentation via a single input point replaces reliance on memory to capture the actions taken and the sequence, reducing errors and improving compliance. Designed for mobile environments, the intuitive UI saves time and simplifies charting by providing quick, easy access to commonly administered medications and medical interventions. ZOLL emsCharts NOW is purpose-built to perform on standard, agency-issued or personal iOS and Android devices, significantly reducing both equipment and IT support costs.

The ZOLL emsCharts NOW mobile companion app has robust field functionality and saves data locally when no active internet connection is available. The local database is encrypted at rest and in transit to comply with HIPAA requirements. Providers can chart confidently and securely on scene, without fear of data loss or rework later on. Time-saving features include:

• Sleek, easy-to-navigate user interface (UI)
• QR code and link options to transfer ePCR data to other crew members or agencies
• Timers to log when intervention starts (NARCAN administration, time between medication doses, etc.)
• One-click documentation of common ailments, allergies, and medications
• Driver’s license barcode scan to import demographics
• Voice-to-text capabilities
• Information import from dispatch CAD software (address, nature of call, etc.)
