CodeScribe EMS

For EMT and paramedic programs ยท Free pilot for a term

Every student scribes every mock code. You see all of them.

Students run CodeScribe EMS on their own phones during scenarios, the same app crews use on real arrests. Each mock code reaches your dashboard the moment it ends, with the scenario name, time to first compression, shock and epi, cycle timing against the protocol you set, CPR pauses, and what the student left undocumented.

The dashboard link opens a demo program with made-up data, no sign-in.

The instructor dashboard's Codes tab: one row per mock code with scenario name, times to first compression, shock and epi, and outcome

Why instructors use it

Documentation becomes visible

Students learn to scribe on the tool they'll use on the truck. What they left blank shows up on the screen in front of the class, not in a chart review weeks later.

The debrief has real times

Open any scenario and see every intervention by minute and second. Print it on one page. No more "the epi was around four minutes in."

One protocol for the whole cohort

Set the buttons, timers and drug list once. Every student's phone runs the same screen, locked if you want it locked.

What a program gets

Every mock code, right away

Departments wait 12 to 72 hours for a summary, a privacy measure for real arrests. A training program has no patient, so each code shows up at the student's next check-in, in time for the debrief.

Scenario names

Students type the scenario on the record ("Scenario 3, VF with ROSC") and it comes through with the code, so you can compare everyone's run of the same scenario.

Numbers by student

Codes scribed, how many were fully documented, and median time to first compression, for each student beside the cohort's.

Timing against your protocol

Epi intervals and rhythm checks judged against the timers you set, with every CPR pause counted. Same report a department's medical director gets.

The one-page debrief

Any code prints as a timeline with its timing verdicts, ready to hand the student.

Term reset

At the end of the term, remove every student in one tap. Instructors stay, the codes stay, next term's students join with the same code.

CodeScribe EMS is a documentation aid, not clinical decision support. It never tells a student what to give or when; your curriculum and your protocols do.

How it works

  1. You get a join code

    We set your program up as a training program and send you a join code. You join in the app first, and the same sign-in opens the dashboard.

  2. Students join in the app

    Each student installs CodeScribe EMS, signs in once, and enters the code. About two minutes per phone. We'll walk a class through it.

  3. Scenarios show up as they end

    A student scribes the mock code, names the scenario on the record, and it's on your dashboard before the debrief starts.

Pricing

A free pilot for a term. At the end we ask what it was worth to you, and the first programs that stay on keep their starting price for three years. Priced per program per year, not per student, because cohorts turn over.

Questions instructors ask

Do students need to buy the app?

Today it's a paid download on the App Store. Ask us about program pilots; we don't want the price of the app to be the reason a class can't try it.

Is there any patient data?

No. These are practice scenarios, and the summaries carry the same stripped fields a real department receives, plus the scenario name the student typed. The privacy policy covers training programs in its own paragraph.

Android?

Not yet; iPhone and iPad only. The dashboard runs in any browser. If Android is what's stopping your program, tell us.

Can students keep using it after the course?

Yes. Their records stay on their phones, the app keeps working on its own, and when they join a department that uses CodeScribe they already know it.

Does it grade?

No. It shows what was recorded and when, against the timers you set. What that means for the student is your call.

What does it look like on day one?

Empty, with a short getting-started list. The demo shows a program with a term's worth of scenarios.

Try it with your program

We're looking for a few EMT and paramedic programs to pilot it free for a term and tell us what's missing.
