The patient care document is a critical piece of information for the care of our patients. This information is vital to the emergency department's function, and while we get a "down and dirty" report at the bedside, we frequently return to the EMS run sheet to gleen further information later in the patient's visit. To wait up to 24 hours to get this information is a disservice to our community and is not quality patient care.
