The transfer packet Americare Ambulance Service receives

An interfacility transfer arranged through Americare Ambulance Service runs on paperwork from the sending facility: the face sheet, the nursing notes, the medication list, and the physician's transfer order, all faxed so the crew and the receiving facility have the patient's picture. Name the patient and the transfer date on the cover sheet so the paperwork is matched to the move. Send the whole packet together so nothing arrives split from its order.

Sending the crew's report from Americare Ambulance Service

A completed run report from Americare Ambulance Service carries the clinical narrative of the transport, and it is faxed to the receiving facility to close the loop on the patient hand-off. Flag a critical patient on the cover sheet so the emergency department sees the report before arrival. Keep the confirmation so the run record shows the PCR was delivered.
