ZOLL emsCharts NOW enables EMS clinicians to quickly, conveniently, and securely capture critical patient data at the time of contact, using a standard, agency-issued or personal mobile device.
Collect patient data contemporaneously
In the midst of an emergency, EMS clinicians may hastily scribble vital patient information on gloves, medical tape, and note pads to sort through and make sense of later. It’s a less-than-ideal approach, but logging into browser-based ePCR software from the field can be difficult — or impossible. Until now, the only viable alternative was a specialized Windows device running full-version software. Those devices are costly to acquire and maintain, and they require significant IT resources. ZOLL emsCharts NOW, the mobile companion app to our cloud-based ePCR solution, ZOLL emsCharts, solves those problems and more. It transforms the process of charting on scene, without data loss or rework.
Charting takes significant time when done correctly. EMS clinicians often describe it as their least favorite responsibility. The ZOLL emsCharts NOW mobile companion app enables paramedics and EMTs to start a chart, collect patient data contemporaneously, and even lock the chart — all from the field. 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. Clinicians can chart confidently and securely on scene, with maximum flexibility. Lock and submit the ePCR from the field, or upload the data from your device to ZOLL emsCharts so you can finish back at the station or during wall time. Time-saving features include:

Before selecting a mobile ePCR solution for EMS, be sure you can respond “yes” to the following questions:
Workflow optimization: Does the solution follow natural workflows and help ensure complete, accurate documentation? Does it improve field usability and speed with time-saving features like dispatch data import, quick-action buttons, voice-to-text, driver’s license scanning, and signature capture? Can clinicians start, lock, and submit charts from the field?
Mobile-first design: Does it run on standard iOS and Android mobile devices? Does it simplify charting by providing quick, easy access to common interventions and medications? Does it take full advantage of the device’s native tools and functions like gestures, controls, and display modes?
Robust field functionality: Does it work reliably with or without internet, auto-save locally, and protect charts from data loss or rework?
Security and compliance: Does it safeguard on-device data in accordance with HIPAA, including encryption at rest and in transit?
Quality assurance/improvement and reporting: Does it include timers, timestamps, and configurable fields to support robust QA/QI and reporting?
Using ZOLL emsCharts NOW, clinicians can start a chart, collect patient data contemporaneously, lock, and submit the chart — all from the field. This approach saves time and reduces or eliminates the need to finish charts later, back at the agency. It also enables a more complete, accurate ePCR with timestamps for improved patient care and compliance.
Developed with an intuitive user interface optimized for mobile devices, ZOLL emsCharts NOW simplifies charting by providing quick, easy access to commonly administered medications and medical interventions. No more hastily scribbled notes on gloves, medical tape, and notepads; ZOLL emsCharts NOW captures actions and sequences in real time rather than relying on memory later — establishing a single source for data input and helping to reduce errors. Agencies can also configure prompts and required fields to prioritize focus areas.
No. 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.
