Evolution of the emergency medical services profession: A case study of EMS run reports

Roger Munger James Madison University

Abstract

Often the first of many documents written about patients, the emergency medical service's run report is a preprinted form on which providers record the events of an emergency. These forms are important analytically because they represent the practices and interests of the multiple professions engaged in caring for critically ill or injured patients. This article examines the historical evolution of a shared medical form and its impact on the professionals who use it.
