The Hospital Outcome section records what happened to the patient at the destination facility — ED and hospital outcomes, any procedures performed, and the admission and discharge times that tie your EMS call to the downstream care.

The Hospital Outcome section on the Outcome tab with ED and hospital disposition, procedures, and admission and discharge time fields.

Dispositions

  • Emergency Department Disposition.
  • Hospital Disposition.

External Reports

If the receiving facility assigns an external report number (for a trauma registry, stroke registry, etc.), click Add External Report and fill in:

  • External Report ID/Number Type.
  • External Report ID/Number.
  • Other Report Registry Type — free text if the type is "Other".

Emergency Department Procedures

Procedures performed in the ED, searched by ICD-10-PCS code. Each entry captures the procedure code and the date/time it was performed. Mark the whole subsection NV (Not Applicable / Not Recorded) if none were performed.

Hospital Procedures

Same shape as ED Procedures, but for procedures performed after hospital admission. ICD-10-PCS code plus date/time. Mark NV if not applicable.

Times

  • Date/Time of Hospital Admission.
  • Date/Time of Hospital Discharge.
  • Date/Time of Emergency Department Admission.

Each time field has an NV button if the exact time is not known.

Some agencies on NEMSIS v3.5.1 also see an Injury Severity Score field (0–75).

Why this matters

Most of what goes here is filled in after the EMS call ends, often by a QA reviewer or registry coordinator who has access to the receiving hospital's records. Capturing ED and hospital dispositions, procedures, and admit/discharge times is what lets your agency tie prehospital care to downstream outcomes for performance measures like STEMI, stroke, and trauma.
