Oversight of the distribution and tracking of Prehospital Care Reports (PCRs) to and from EMS agencies comprises a large part of the deliverables required of all the Regional Program Agencies in NYS.All Hudson Valley Regional EMS agencies should:
- Order PCR’s from the Hudson Valley Regional EMS Office.
- Ensure the return of PCR’s completed to the Hudson Valley Regional EMS Office by the 20th of each month.
Prehospital Care Reports and Continuation Forms can also be picked up at:
Hudson Valley Regional EMS Council
33 Airport Center Drive, Suite 204
New Windsor, NY 12553
Before release of PCRs, or Continuation Forms, a PCR Distribution Tracking Form will be completed and signed by the requesting person. PCRs will be shipped upon receipt of the on-line order form.
Completed PCRs and Continuation Forms from ambulance and ALSFR agencies are to be submitted to the Regional EMS Office by the 20th of the month following the month of the call. Agencies with larger call volumes may forward PCRs more frequently throughout the month. Agencies are responsible for the storage and security of their completed PCRs and Continuation Forms.
The EMS Office receives, on average, several thousand PCRs per month. The staff asks that all agencies neatly group together the PCRs by date of month in packets of 100 to help speed the processing.
Completed PCRs should be mailed in an envelope, appropriately sized to a PCR form, unfolded. The package should be marked “PCRs”.
