Cabarrus County’s Emergency Medical Services Deputy Chief requested a more streamlined approach to a process required by the state of North Carolina. In the event of intubation, the state of North Carolina requires paramedics to submit several PDF forms. The forms must be signed by numerous staff members, all housed in different locations and working different shifts. The logistics involved turned a simple process of filling out PDFs into quite an ordeal. Cabarrus County’s Information Technology Services department provided Emergency Medical Services staff with a new, streamlined, innovative process including an online form, backend routing, and PDF creation. This new process drastically cut down on staff time and County resources. The EMS Airway and Intubation Application provides an easy interface for paramedics to collect all relevant data related to the intubation performed, even in a disconnected environment.
