What is the EMS Panel?

The EMS panel is where medics work their shifts. You go on duty as a unit, respond to medical calls, crew up as rigs and write Medical records. Most tools are shared with the other service panels and have their own pages: Units, Calls, Records, Lookups and Radio.

The EMS panel


Access

You need the ems panel permission, given on a rank in an EMS department. See Permissions.
If your server limits the panel to certain agencies, you need a unit in one of them. Your server may also require you to be clocked in or to start your bodycam first.

Your Unit and Rigs

Pick or create a unit to get started. Only EMS agencies allowed on this panel show in the Agency list. See Units. On EMS, unit groups are called rigs. They show in Active Rigs under Active Units, and hold up to 4 units. Your unit’s items and subdivisions come from its agency, which your admins set up in Customization.

Calls

You see calls inside your agency’s jurisdiction that are sent to EMS (or to all panels). In-game Fire and EMS calls go to both the Fire and EMS panels. When no dispatcher is online, you hear the incoming call tone for new calls in your area. When a dispatcher is online, they take incoming calls and assign you. When you self dispatch, the Call Title field suggests common EMS titles. You can also type your own.

Records

Click New record to write a Medical Record or Medical Report. A new CAD has no EMS templates, so your admins need to build them first, for example a patient care report. See Records & Reports. Closed EMS records can’t be edited. You can see active BOLOs in Active Lookouts, but creating or closing one needs Police or Dispatch permissions.

Lookups

Record Search covers every record type your agency can see. Runs return the same civilian, vehicle and licence data as Police, but linked records only list Medical Records, Medical Reports and BOLOs. Flagged results aren’t sent to dispatch. See Lookups.

Supervisors

With ems panel supervisor you can:
  • Fill in supervisor-only fields on EMS records and review them in the Supervisor Centre.
  • See who wrote a record with View Author.
  • Self dispatch even when your server turns it off, and create calls for other EMS units.
  • Set other units’ status and panic, manage rigs and send them lookups and records.
  • Use Dispatch Tools (tones, signals, timers, live map) for your own panel.
  • Edit other EMS units’ identifiers and watch their bodycams.
