General Information #

Once added, the facilities will appear in the Scene Facility and Destination Facility options list without the need to search the global destination list. If you are an international agency you will need to add your facilities to this list.

Now it is time to add the facility. Some things to keep in mind while adding facilities if you are a US Agency.
- Facility Name – Use the official Name of the facility as shown on the states list of agencies. If you need this list please ask one of our support team members and we will send it over
- Location Code – All states require a Location Code for every hospital, the state provides this code, if you need this list please ask one of our support team members and we will send it over.
Required Fields:
In order for the facility to work properly within the ePCR the following fields must be filled out correctly.
- Facility Name
- Location Code – If you are NOT a US Agency you can leave this field blank, however if you want to take advantage of the hospital interface you will need to designate a number for them, we suggest using a basic system starting with 001, 002, 003 ect.
- Designations
- Facility Address:
Facility Address:
When completing the facility address you can use the google location search which will populate the fields accordingly. You will need to select your country as well to prevent any validation errors when submitting PCR’s.
Country – the country field is hidden by default however you can click on the “Show More” button at the bottom of window to show additional fields including the country field as seen below:
Municipality Code – (US Only) If the Municipality Code did not populate when you entered the facility address you will need to select the municipality from the search box as seen below:
Facility Phone Numbers and Fax Numbers
If you add a Fax Number for a facility this will enable the fax feature when a ePCR is submitted. The number will automatically appear for the user upon submission.
