Riverside County has developed an Online Medical Direction documentation program that is shared between its six base hospitals, where MICN’s can document medical contacts when providing online medical direction and specialty care activation within their hospital destinations. Utilizing ImageTrend Elite has allowed for comprehensive data collection and research into the role base hospitals play in the prehospital setting. During the webinar, you will gain insight into how this program was developed and the tools used to make it a success.
