New features and enhancements

Dispatch Mode

The Dispatch Mode field on the Referring and Receiving page now supports custom values that can be configured in the Dispatch Mode Code Table in Web.

Configuration: Service > Code Tables > Dispatch Mode (Ref/Rec Mode)

Mobile Agency Filter Code Table changes

Changes made to the Mobile Agency Filter Code Table will now update the local Windows application Hospital and EMS lists upon the next sync. This will ensure that the Windows application has the most up-to-date Hospital and EMS lists based on the Mobile Agency Filter Code Table configuration.

Configuration: Service > Code Tables > Mobile Agency Filter

NEMSIS errors

We updated the NEMSIS error messages displayed to users to show our custom error messages instead of the default messages provided by the NEMSIS schematrons.

Standard Signatures character limit

The maximum character count has been increased to 8000 for the following Standard Signatures fields:

  • Main Header

  • Section I

  • Section II

  • Section III

Bug fixes

Referring/Receiving location fields

We fixed an issue that was causing data entered in the Referring/Receiving EMS fields to be saved when switching to the Other tab. Data will now be cleared as expected when switching between the tabs.

Operations Action - 'Successful' and 'Attempts'

We added the fields 'Successful' and 'Attempts' to the Operations Action.

Remove patient from chart

We fixed an issue that was preventing users from removing a patient from a chart if that patient was shared across multiple open charts.

Offline login issues

We fixed issues that were preventing some users for certain Services from logging into the Windows application when the device was offline.

Known issues

We are aware of the following issues and are working to resolve them in an upcoming release:

  • Hospital selection: Selecting a Hospital using the magnifying glass may not update the Hospital name right away. This is just a visual issue and the data is saved normally. The Hospital name will update visually when you navigate away.

  • ZOLL Cloud ECG Import unexpected error: If the EKG Report Image Type for your service is set to anything other than 'Default (Leave as JPG, Bitmap)', users will receive an "Unexpected error" when trying to import into ZOLL emsCharts for Windows. Administrators can update this setting in the Web ECG Configuration code table.

  • Multiple brands of ECG devices: If you use both ZOLL ECG devices and other manufacturers' devices, you will need two instances of ZOLL emsCharts for Windows installed.

  • Windows on ARM is not currently supported. For example, Microsoft Surface Pro X devices. For more information about Windows on ARM, see Microsoft's Windows Arm-based PCs FAQ.

  • Data Validations:

    • Some Data Validation Rules may not fire as expected in ZOLL emsCharts for Windows. We are tracking these and will address them as they arise. If you run into this issue, you will be prompted to finish your chart on the Web.

    • Some Data Validation Rules are not yet click-able. Clicking them will not bring you to the field.
