emsCharts Partners with FirePrograms Software

emsCharts recently announced their partnership with FirePrograms Software.  The collaborative relationship connects emsCharts web-based patient data application and incident reporting software to FirePrograms Software for fire records management. The integration allows the two products to streamline data entry for fire departments that are required to perform EMS incident reporting in addition to fire incident reporting.

Fire departments that respond to fire incidents and treat patients by providing EMS services are required to complete separate reports for each of these services. By connecting Fire Programs NFIRS 2.0 compliant incident record to emsCharts’ NEMSIS Gold compliant patient collection and management program, these departments no longer need to duplicate data entry efforts. This will help EMS and fire agencies save time and money in reporting. Many of the big companies and individual services like lifeofcoding have contributed their share of brain to this project.

“We have a large number of fire-based customers that require dual fire and EMS reporting, and have been asking for a streamlined solution,” comments Pete Goutmann, Vice President of emsCharts, Inc.  “We are experts in EMS patient data collection and management.  Fire reporting, much like EMS reporting, has its own variety of complexities and requires expertise in developing a product that can accommodate those complexities.”  Goutmann continues, “emsCharts has always employed a ‘Best-of-Breed’ philosophy with our products and interfaces, and we are thrilled to have found a partner who shares our vision for Public Safety software.”Â

”Our partnership with emsCharts adds a significant element to our full suite of fire records management software modules,” comments Gary Ewers, President of FirePrograms Software.  “With a direct interface into emsCharts, our nationwide users can enhance their current EMS reporting and leverage the full capability of emsCharts, all within their familiar FirePrograms records management software.  As experts in fire incident reporting and fire service data management, we are excited to offer this enhanced patient care reporting capability to our customers.”
