Priority dispatch

Ok...perhaps I misunderstood you & vice versa. In my system, during an interfacility, you need one...doesn't matter if emergent or scheduled. For 911, not needed.

For mine, if you responded emergency to the residence or NH, you didnt need one. But if you responded non-emergency to Peg tube replacement, you needed one.

For us, anytime you are going to the hospital for treatment that is NOT scheduled, it is considered a scene call. Anything else is an interfacility.

Same at both systems I've worked in. Emergency calls (call going to an emergency room from someplace not a hospital) didn't need a PCN regardless of response status. Dialysis and other regularly scheduled calls could use the same PCN for, I think, 60 days, and were handled by billing. All other calls required a PCN signed before transport.
