Demographics is the area of CloudPCR that holds information about your agency itself — your stations, your trucks, your people, the hospitals you transport to, and the equipment you use.

The Demographics landing page — the Agency sub-nav shows Agency, Vehicles, Personnel, Contacts, Facilities, Locations, Configuration, and Devices.

Why it matters

You set this information up once and CloudPCR uses it everywhere a PCR needs to know about your agency. When you pick a destination on a PCR, you are picking from your facilities list. When you add a crew member, you are picking from your personnel list. When you tag your unit on a call, you are picking from your vehicles list. The cleaner your demographics are, the faster every PCR fills out.

Open Demographics

  1. From the menu, click Settings, then click Demographics in the Settings sub-menu.

You will see a sub-menu with each area:

  • Agency — your agency's name, address, and NEMSIS identifiers.
  • Vehicles — every unit your agency operates.
  • Personnel — every provider and staff member. See also Personnel certifications.
  • Contacts — medical directors, receiving physicians, and other named contacts.
  • Facilities — hospitals, clinics, and other facilities you transport patients to.
  • Locations — stations, posts, and other locations your agency operates from.
  • Devices — cardiac monitors, ventilators, and other tracked equipment.
  • Configuration — NEMSIS configuration like certification levels, procedure groups, and medication groups.

Who edits demographics

Most agencies have one or two people who own the demographics — usually a chief, an office manager, or a designated administrator. Once it is set up, individual providers rarely need to touch it.
