Benefits and Features

Spend less time documenting and more time treating

Simplify PCR data entry: With Siren’s SOAP workflow design and simple finger touch-screen your paramedics will be documenting a complex ePCR in 12-15 minutes out-of-the-box.

Import patient information into your ePCR: Why spend time manually entering patient information when it can be automatically documented? Siren allows paramedics to import patient information directly into the ePCR, including:

• CAD Push functionality that can be configured to automatically import over 140 available CAD fields.
• Magnetic card swipe that inserts demographic data into the ePCR from the patient’s health card, driver’s license or ID card.
• Patient look-up (frequent flyer) feature that allows paramedics to look up and import information of patients that require regular treatment and transport (e.g. past medical history).

Integrate Siren with your LifePak 12, Phillips or Zoll monitor: Improve data accuracy and reliability with one of Siren’s standard defibrillator interfaces. With the touch of a button paramedics can easily download defibrillator monitor data directly into the ePCR, including ECG strings, vital signs and events.

• Data is stored electronically with ePCR
• Data can be transmitted to inbound hospital through the Siren Hospital Whiteboard application
  
• Full record is available for review on the Siren web based application.
  
• Reports can be printed with ePCR and submitted to the receiving hospital.

Increase efficiencies and reduce your overhead

Share your ePCR solution with other agencies: Siren lets you share implementation costs, IT expertise, and infrastructure without having to share patient data. Benefit from a lower cost of ownership without compromising the integrity of your patient’s security

• Multi-agency capable – a single Siren system can host multiple EMS agencies
• Seamless cross-agency transfer of ePCRs

Reduce administrative time for billing: Cut reimbursement time to days instead of months while significantly reducing your billing rejection rates. With Siren ePCR features, like configurable mandatory fields, the days of wasting time trying to contact the treating paramedic for missing patient information are gone. Create a custom Siren ePCR report for your billing department so they only see the information needed for billing purposes. Siren ePCR can also be easily integrated with your billing program for effortless and reliable data sharing.

Update your tablets without leaving the office: Automatically distribute protocols, configuration or Siren software updates to tablets in the field without ever having to physically touch them using the Siren ePCR update manager.

Share valuable data

Transfer critical patient data from one crew to another: Siren keeps records with the patient for the entire course of treatment from one crew to another. This reduces the need to document and manage multiple ePCRs per patient and helps ensure critical information is readily available to all treating paramedics.

• Transfer ePCRs in the field without a server connection via Bluetooth
  
• Transfer to other agencies within a multi-agency environment. For example, a medical first responder can transfer the record electronically to the EMT paramedic crew when they arrive on scene.
  
• Preserve your ePCR audit trail by maintaining the initial ePCR content and copying the ePCR to a transporting agency.

Alert the hospital with critical inbound patient information: Help receiving hospitals prepare for your inbound patients by providing near-real time critical patient information through the Siren ePCR Hospital Whiteboard application. Receiving hospitals can also utilize the Siren ePCR Hospital Whiteboard to get a better view of all inbound patients’ arriving by ambulance so they can proactively divert ambulances to other hospitals when appropriate. The Siren ePCR Hospital Whiteboard:

• Allows for quick and easy viewing of inbound patient data
• Prioritizes inbound patients based on chief complaint
• Can be displayed on a large display for emergency departments
• Allows hospitals to view entire ePCR, including vitals, before the patient arrives.

Export patient data directly to state or other regulatory agencies: You can easily export patient data from Siren ePCR directly into your state/regulatory data repository. Siren ePCR offers a silver NEMSIS compliant ePCR and many agencies across the US are already exporting Siren patient data to their state data regulatory agencies.

Data mine millions of records in seconds: Having accurate data is critical when making decisions. With access to over fifty Siren pre-built web reports, you will have a fast, easy means of viewing statistical information and identifying trends related to information captured in the ePCR. Using Siren’s summary reports you can quickly identify potential problem areas or you can drill down into the data for a detailed investigation. Reports can be scheduled to run at regular intervals and can be exported to programs like Microsoft Excel, Word or Adobe PDF.

Configure Siren to meet your agency’s needs

With over 4,000 configurable data fields available in the application, Siren is the world’s most comprehensive ePCR program. Using the Siren ePCR Field Editor you can easily configure your Siren tablet user interface and web ePCR workflow to meet your organization’s needs. Have Siren adapt to you – not the other way around!

Customize your data entry screens: Start out with one of Siren’s base ALS or BLS configurations and add fields, change label names and rearrange pick-lists using the Siren ePCR Field Editor.

Filter irrelevant fields to speed up data entry: Configure chief and secondary complaint filters that temporarily remove irrelevant fields from the Siren tablet user interface and help guide your paramedic to detail relevant patient information.

Provide up-to-date reference information to your paramedics: Paramedics can have immediate access to the most up-to-date resources in the Siren ePCR Client (tablet) application including agency-specific protocols and an integrated drug reference database.

Prevent incomplete patient care reports: Cut your ePCR review cycle to days instead of months while significantly reducing your QA/QI rejection rates. With configurable mandatory fields, Siren will remind your paramedics if required information has not been entered for a specific patient outcome.

Create patient records that suite your audience: Siren’s multiple, customizable reporting formats lets you present patient records in a way that suits your audience. Imagine a different ePCR layout for your medical director, the patient’s General Practitioner, the emergency room and one your billing department.

Eliminate the paper trail: Configure your custom web ePCR workflow to route ePCRs electronically through your existing PCR review process. Using Siren ePCR Server User your authorized personnel can view and route ePCR reports, attach notes to a report and send ePCRs back to a paramedic for correction. The Siren ePCR Server User is a web-based solution that operates securely over the internet or on an internal LAN.

Increase legal protection: Having clear, accurate and standardized information readily available is critical when patient care is questioned. By utilizing agency-specific electronic signatures, patient disclaimers and quick retrieval of stored ePCRs Siren will help provide your agency with strong legal protection in the case of potential litigation.

Adapt Siren to your language: Using the Siren Field Editor you can adapt Siren software to any language that uses the Latin character set.
