ePCR Narratives

Turn the patient-care details you provide into a draft narrative, review it carefully, and copy the final result into your ePCR.

Choose your narrative format

Your agency decides which narrative formats are available. EMS SOAP supports SOAP, CHART, D-Chart, DRAATT, DA-Chart, D-CHART-E, and custom agency formats.

Open the format your agency uses from the sidebar. For example, select SOAP Narrative to create a SOAP-formatted report.

Create a narrative

  1. Enter the patient-care details in the narrative input.
  2. To dictate instead, select the microphone and speak naturally. You can record for up to 10 minutes.
  3. Review the text or voice transcript and correct it before sending.
  4. Select Send to generate a draft in your agency's configured format.

Review the generated narrative

EMS SOAP structures the details you provided, but you remain responsible for the patient record. Read every statement and correct anything that does not reflect the call.

To add a patient-care detail or correct a fact, use the same input, describe only what happened, and select Send again.

Narrative Review for agencies using LiveQA

After generation, Narrative Review may ask about missing or conflicting documentation. It does not supply chart wording or add facts automatically.

  1. Answer each relevant question using only what happened on the call.
  2. Select Skip this item when a question does not apply or you do not have the information.
  3. Your answers remain staged until you select Generate updated narrative ↓.
  4. Review the updated narrative before copying it.

Copy the final narrative

  1. Complete your final accuracy review.
  2. Select Copy beneath the narrative, then paste it into your ePCR.
  3. Some agencies require Confirm Copy. If prompted, type your name to sign, then select Copy to Clipboard.

Tips for useful drafts

  • Include observed findings, actual treatments, and transport details.
  • Use specific vitals, medication doses, routes, and times.
  • Document the patient's response and any condition changes.
  • Never guess or add a detail just to clear a review question.
  • Keep the input factual and concise; EMS abbreviations are supported.
