Unit Training
Information Management
Objectives
By the end of this session you should be able to:
• Populate all the required information on a
CFRR/ACR/PTR/PCR in accordance with
PHECC completion guidelines.
• Request a unique incident call number
(INCO)for transporting a patient in a Red
Cross vehicle.
Which Report do you use?
• A Cardiac First Responder Report (CFRR) is used if you
have attended a Cardiac arrest as part of a CFR in the
community group.
• An Ambulatory Care Report (ACR) is used for the general
treatment and discharge of a patient back to an event, that
the Irish Red Cross is covering.
• A Patient Transport Report (PTR) is used for the Inter facility
transport of a patient that has no interventions.
• A Patient Care Report (PCR) is used if a patient is to be
transported to an Emergency Department, there may also be
an ACR completed but a PCR must also be completed for
the transport.
Purpose of PCR/ACR/CFRR
• Clinical
– Recording pre-hospital care interventions and
medications administered is an essential clinical
responsibility of pre-hospital emergency care
practitioners.
– Documents the events preceding and possible
hospital admission of the patient (ref PCR).
Purpose of PCR/ACR/CFRR
• Legal
– Patient Care Report’s identify the care that
has been given to a patient.
– Properly completed it will give protection
and be an essential aid if called as a
witness in court.
Purpose of
PCR/PTR/ACR/CFRR
Organisation Information
– Activity related information can assist in future
planning and development.
– May be used for Public Health monitoring and to
provide information for research into new skills,
services, equipment and other resources required
in the future.
– Assist in the development of both service and
individual training plans.
Purpose of PCR/ACR/CFRR
Inaccurate documentation is potentially
damaging to patients, the IRC (Service
Provider) and the standing of the prehospital emergency care practitioner.

Cardiac Arrest that the OHCAR section on

most information that can be obtained
