Greetings Everyone,
See the message below from the State Data and Informatics:
The NYS 3.4.0 Documentation Standard, implemented today, has been updated to include the changes listed below.

Rule 2181 (eTimes.09) ~ change from failure to warning

An update document is being sent to the Regional Program Agencies for additional distribution to the EMS agencies that will allow for ease in understanding the changes.
The NEMSIS 3.5.0 Documentation Standard and Schematron release has been delayed until Friday of this week to avoid any confusion associated with the final changes in 3.4.0. We apologize for any delay and inconvenience.
ImageTrend clients who contract directly should contact ImageTrend Support with any questions; all others may email emsdata@health.ny.gov with any questions or concerns.
Thanks
