Anywhere in CloudPCR that you type an address — a scene address, a patient home, a facility — the street field is connected to Google search and the city field is connected to a national place list. The result is faster typing and cleaner data.

The Street Address field on the Scene section of the Incident tab with the Google Places suggestion dropdown showing matching addresses.

How it works

  1. Click in the street address field.
  2. Start typing the address — start with the street number and the first few letters of the street name.
  3. A list of matching addresses appears below the field.
  4. Pick the right one.
  5. The street, city, state, and ZIP fill in for you.
  6. The county fills in based on the city.

Why CloudPCR locks the city to a list

NEMSIS requires the city to come from an official place list, not free-form text. If you type the city by hand, CloudPCR will not let you save until you pick a real city from the dropdown. This means your state always gets clean, validated data, and your billing team never has to deal with "Springfeild" or "Cinncinati."

If a place is not in the list

The list is the USGS GNIS list of civil divisions, populated places, census-designated places, and military installations. Unincorporated areas may not have their own entry. If you cannot find what you need, pick the nearest named town or township — those are in the list under their official name.

An example

You respond to a call at "1234 Maple Street." You type "1234 Maple" in the street field. Google offers three options. The first is "1234 Maple Street, Springfield, OH" — the right one. You pick it. The street, city, state, ZIP, and county all fill in. Total time: about 4 seconds. No typos.
