Dispatch Setup: Quick Picks Setup

Dispatch Quick Picks

This functionality provides entries for selecting with specific fields. Each quick pick field has a category, which in turn has a list of entries. The description is the text that will be seen in the program.

Entries should be limited, concentrating on:

  • Maintaining consistency (especially with long words, easily misspelled words, and similar words)
  • Commonly entered data 
  • Providing options

                  

Category Descriptions

 

Address 1 and Address 2 are intended for streets, facilities or apartment buildings that have a large number of patients, and are often used, with lengthier or hard-to-spell names. This is not intended for entry of every street in the Service Area.

Address 2

 

EMS Radio Code entries are for the EMS Code Field in the Transport Information Tab of the Response Area, either for codes used in dispatching or other identification purposes.

 

Incident Class entries provide for report filtering of runs in the Dispatch Module. These provide a way to identify a record that cannot be identified by another field.

 

Personal Item, Personal Item Given To entries for the Personal Items Group of the Patient Information Tab.

 

Priority entries help identify how to handle the call, as determined by dispatch or a Public Safety Answering Point.

 

Site Code entries provide for report filtering of runs in the Dispatch and Billing Modules. These provide a way to identify a record that cannot be identified by another field.

 

Specialty Care entries are intended to cover all special equipment needs, specific scenarios, or any need that must be provided to the crews at the time of dispatch.

 

Suffix entries are intended to provide additional information about a person.  Post-nominal letters can be entered to indicate that the individual holds a position or has the same name as other family members.

 

Supplemental provides entries for a supplemental prompt (if that type is selected) for the Supplemental Tab.

 

Supply Item entries provide a way to track what items are given to a specific person.

 

Township entries are intended to help with report filtering of runs.
