Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can you transfer data to a variety of databases and RMS programs?
  • Yes, we are designed to be the best field data collection system. Therefore, we have developed powerful data export tools to take collected data and send it to virtually any specified data repository system.

2. Is each provider able to access the database with appropriate security clearance?

  • We can provide a single centralized site that will allow access to all of your data that is HIPAA compliant. You can control exactly what privileges you want for each individual care provider.
    Our system uses "roles & responsibilities" instead of traditional passwords. Customers can define specific "roles," or abilities to view and edit features; each user can then be assigned a variety of roles as required. Essentially, each care provider could have a unique level of security access, designed and maintained by the local system administrator(s).

3. What Datasets can you collect?

  • We can collect the NEMSIS dataset concurrently with any existing or legacy dataset. FieldSaver can simultaneously collect data points for multiple different datasets

4. Are you able to receive data from computer aided dispatch software?

  • We can receive data from CAD systems over a TCP/IP connection. Currently, the most efficient approach is to send the information directly from the CAD server to our SQL database. From our experience, the expense of "real-time" wireless CAD data to the field does not justify the minimal extra information that may be gained

5. Are you able to access EMS policies, procedures, and drug guides?

  • The system is capable of displaying all the treatment items for a particular protocol, making it quick and easy to document the common treatments associated with that protocol. In addition, we can attach the text for that particular protocol, so in just a single tap field personnel can directly access the specific protocol they need. We can also store the entire protocol manual on the handheld for reference, and these reference materials can automatically be updated during the synching process. Any of these programs can be used in conjunction with FieldSaver.

6. Are you able to share data on-scene electronically?

  • Yes, FieldSaver handhelds can transmit in-process or complete reports to other FieldSaver handhelds at the scene, and/or at the hospital. This is done via infrared transmission between the handhelds. Infrared printers can also be used to print draft or completed Patient Care Reports.

7. Can you interface with billing software?

  • We can interface with any billing software system. IN addition we can customize the data collection to ensure crews are prompted to collect the right data in the field. What you put in the billing fields is a very important part of the PCR. FieldSaver can automate this, so you will have optimal billing information.

8. Can Fieldsaver be used on a laptop or desktop?

  • Yes, when you cradle the handheld it can display on your PC and you can use a mouse and keyboard. This way you can have the best of both worlds, a powerful field data collection tool that can fit in your pocket with all the features of a laptop or PC.
