Sort ALS narrative elements into SOAP sections or discard non-clinical filler. Advanced calls include more objective data, interventions, and reassessment findings.
Fundamental concept
Building paramedic PCRs that capture interventions, reassessment, medical direction, and critical time stamps for ALS calls.
