Just wondering, since I've been out of the field for about 6 months, what exactly has changed? When I left, our PCRs had a spot for the patient's signature, the recieveing staff member's signature (I tried to get it signed even if it was just the patient signing twice if we were discharging home), and a spot on back for a declaration if the patient couldn't sign.
There was also the physician declaration of necessity for the non-emergent transports. Those had much lamentation from the crews when those were attached to the PCRs and required for all of the non-emergent, non-dialysis (billing took care of those) transports. There was also a handful of nurses who refused to sign those (an entire hospital was refusing actually) also.
