Assuming you only write your report after the call...not typing the whole report on the way to hospital ignoring your pt ((cough (some PhillyFD medics) cough))...How long does it take you to complete a CBR on say EMMA or Code3 for an average call?

Dont know what EMMA is or what you mean by COde3, but....

the avergae call takes me 10-15 minutes.

A cardiac arrest 15-20 mins as well or longer (depending on how long my P takes to restock...lol)

Now a really decent medical call or fubar trauma...about half hour only cause I have to reread usually for typos. I say half hour cause I leave it and then come back a few minutes later with fresh eyes.

Some of them can easily take 45 min. Although superior for tracking, some of the paperless pcr programs are crap, ours would be one of them..the ZOLL program. There are a couple of companies around the surrounding counties just starting out with this program, but I don't know how they do their charting.

Paper charting was much faster and, for the most part, easier.IMHO

I can tell you I wrote a paper report a lot quicker than I do our new "paperless" ones.

Word. And I don't mean Microsoft.

Paper PCR's for full arrest, if I hurry and don't have to get patient billing info, under 10 min, but that's super rushed, but way more thorough than the FD's Medic's PCRs (we each write our own). Usually around 20 though at relaxed but strong pace.
