cost of PCR

[kjg26]

how much does a pack of PCR's cost? my company is transitioning between computers and paper pcrs. during the transition they dont' wish to purchase any more paper pcrs. so they're making copies of the narative side and having us use that. i'm not comfortable doing this and wanted to know how much a pack of paper PCRs would cost for personaly purchase.

this seems to be a question to ask your printers. Not all services use the same or near the same PCR as well as some use multiple copies, style, lay-out, size of paper, etc...

Just curious on why, you are uncomfortable on why you do not want to use copies of an original?

Single sheet, two sides; We write a paper trip sheet while on the call, provide a copy to the ER, then back at base we enter the information into a computer. At the end of the month, the paper copies go into our files. A disc w/ the computer info is mailed to the Regional EMS office. The discs are free, I fear there would be too many errors if we carried computer based PCR's. Several hospitals provide on site computers for that information to be entered right away, should the service not use a paper copy. However, I feel our system works fine, with very few errors. The printer only charges us for the cost of a box of paper.

Every where I have ever seen just makes more copies as needed of PCR. Of course all services had designed their own rather than a darn generic PCR. Even my new service which use electronic PCR has back up paper copies just in case comp goes down.
