I would like to get some opinions on the following:
1) How much does data collected during the on-scene interview affect your care? Specifically, does having a complete medical diagnosis history, complete medication list, and allergies directly affect the care given? Does it help to guide your thought process/decisions? Has having or not having this information ever resulted in your ability to provide care in a positive way that made a significant difference, or avoided a negative outcome (IE Allergy), or conversely, have you had a situation in which care was provided that resulted in a negative outcome because of information you did not have?
2) How much time do you think is actually spent on collection of this historical/existing type of data, on average?
Thank you!
