Important Notice! New PCR Requirements

By Uncategorized

The information in the downloadable document below pertains to EMS entities that are NOT already reporting electronic PCR data to NYS; especially those who are currently or intending to participate in the CME-Based Recertification Program.

The UBMD EMS Division has been communicating with the Bureau of EMS since this notice was shared with us yesterday.  We understand there may be many questions and we encourage everyone to not panic!  We also encourage agencies to join the EMS Agency Leadership call with the Bureau of EMS, scheduled for this Thursday at 4pm.  We are certain there will be much discussion on the PCR topic.  Once we receive the registration link, we will share on this list.

Over the coming weeks/months, we will work with every impacted entity to implement this necessary change!
