Electronic First Responder Incident Reports via the IPAD

I recently have been thinking about how much more efficient it would be to utilize the ipad for entering first responder incident information.  Just think, you wouldn't need to fumble with a clipboard, try to find a pen/pencil, etc - all you need to do is grab the ipad and go.

So, first off, I was thinking that I would just need to convert the form into a fillable pdf for the ipad.  Of course I could add some smarts into the form and make entry a breeze.  Here is a copy of the pdf; first responder report.  Maybe even have dispatch prefill some of the form out beforehand.  It seems lots of EMS departments use ipads in some form or another.  San Diego Frequent EMS

Here is my vision.  The ipad electronic form replaces the clipboard form.  Dispatch prefills part of the form before we even start the truck up.  The rest of the form is easy to fill and when done it wirelessly prints on either our truck printer or Ambulance printer and emails the copy to the destination hospital if needed.   This whole concept is known as ePCR (Electronic Patient Care Record). 

I, of course had dreams of creating the first ipad app that does this sort of thing, and revolutionize the industry.  A quick google of "epcr future" dashed those dreams when this video showed up;

This guy is on board with the technology - check out this short video on a Ipad App - Ambupad
