Closing Charts in ZOLL emsCharts for Windows

When you are ready to complete your chart in ZOLL emsCharts for Windows, go to the Close Chart page. The system will automatically select the correct NEMSIS dataset based on your Service's configuration settings in ZOLL emsCharts Web. You can then validate the chart against the NEMSIS dataset. You will be presented with any NEMSIS validation errors and warnings along with any Service or Command Facility custom Data Validations. Clicking on a Validation Warning or Error will bring you to the page where it can be corrected.

NEMSIS Determination configuration

The Determination setting dictates which NEMSIS dataset will be automatically selected when you go to the Close Chart page in ZOLL emsCharts for Windows.

Configuration: Service > Export > General NEMSIS Export Configuration > Determination.

Determination choices and logic

  1. By Selected Dataset (Default): The dataset for the value selected in the Service's Default Dataset field.

    Configuration: Service > Export > General NEMSIS Export Configuration > Default Dataset.

  2. By Base Site State: The dataset of the region for the value selected in the Page 1 - Base field. If the Base's region is blank, the dataset for the Base's state will be used.

    Configuration: Service > Code Tables > Base Sites > Region.

  3. By Unit State: The dataset of the region for the value selected in the Page 1 - Unit field.

    Configuration: Service > Code Tables > Units > Default Region.

  4. By Referring State Only: The dataset selected for the Page 1 - Referring / Scene Location. If the location is a Hospital, the region of the Hospital's county will be used. If the location is EMS or Other, the region of the documented county will be used.

  5. By Receiving State Only: The dataset selected for the Page 1 - Receiving / Destination Location. If the location is a Hospital, the region of the Hospital's county will be used. If the location is EMS or Other, the region of the documented county will be used.

  6. By Both Ref/Rec States: Uses the same logic as options 4 and 5, but will do it for both the Page 1 - Referring / Scene and Receiving / Destination Locations. If the locations are in the same state, only one NEMSIS export will be generated.

  7. By Base Site Region: Uses the same logic as option 2, but if there is no regional dataset, the state of the region is used instead of the state of the Base.
