Greetings Everyone,
A message from the Bureau Data Team:
An update has been made to the Paper PCR Portal platform on the New York State Elite Site to improve ease of entry for providers and improve data collection. The field Incident Zip Code has been added to the form with a corresponding Incident Address Location Lookup button. Providers will now only need to enter the zip code of the scene address and then click the lookup button and the Incident County and Incident State fields will be filled in automatically.
This change is being implemented to not only make data entry easier for providers, but to also make these charts available in Biospatial, a platform the Department of Health utilizes for data monitoring and performance measures. The Biospatial platform will become available to Regional Program Agencies and EMS Agency leadership to utilize in the near future.
Agencies encountering any issues with this update should reach out to the Data and Informatics team at emsdata@health.ny.gov
Reminder: submission of patient care reporting through the Paper PCR Portal does not qualify an EMS agency to participate in the Continuing Medical Education Recertification Program.
Reminder: all patient care reports are required to be submitted to the Department no later than four (4) hours after the completion of the incident no less than 90% of the time.

Greetings Everyone,
The Western HEPC is conducting a survey that will be available until the end of the month (March 31st, 2022). I am aware that there is still the EMSC survey out there that I am sure some of you may still need to complete. While it is true that these surveys are voluntary, they do allow your voice to be heard. Attached is the information on this survey and the PDF showing the questions before hand is also attached. I encourage ALL EMS leadership to complete the survey. For those of you that are not leadership in your agency, please encourage the same from your leadership please. This is valuable information, even if you do not see any impact from the results immediately. Thanks –
Good Morning,
The link below is to the Western Region Health Emergency Preparedness Coalition (HEPC) Survey. This survey is designed to collect gaps we have in the region.
The survey is designed to be anonymous but we are looking for what sector you are in and if you are based in Western New York or the Finger Lakes or both.
We have attached a PDF of the survey for those that prefer to review the survey before completing it. Some of the survey features are lost on paper.
We will be closing this survey on March 31. Please let your voice be heard. This will be our guide for the next couple of years. The data will be shared with our partners at DHSES to coordinate training, meetings, speakers, and exercises. The results will be shared at our next meeting on June 7, 2022.
Feel free to share with link with anyone whose voice should be heard.
