Pre-hospital notes are brief records created by pre-hospital healthcare providers during emergencies. They include patient information, assessment findings, interventions performed, and the patient's response to treatment. These notes serve as a communication tool between pre-hospital providers and medical personnel at the receiving facility. They ensure continuity of care and provide important information for decision-making. Pre-hospital notes are essential for effective communication and optimal patient outcomes.
