It is absolutely essential that the EMS bringing patients to the trauma center and emergency departments are mandated to provide a patient care report with all details of prehospital vital signs, evaluation and treatment provided in a FORMAL PRINT OUT within 24 hous. A brief MIVT form also is very important to be left with the Emergency Departments AT THE TIME OF INITIAL ARRIVAL. This is crucial for good patient care and is a patient safty issue.
