From Care Delivered to Care Documented: OneDose Now Actively Integrated with First Due ePCR

Delivering high-quality prehospital care has never been more complex. EMS clinicians are expected to make rapid, protocol-driven decisions while also producing accurate, defensible documentation that supports compliance, QA, and medical oversight. Too often, those two responsibilities are handled in disconnected systems, forcing crews to reconstruct care after the call and increasing risk across the entire organization.

The active integration between OneDose and First Due ePCR closes that gap by ensuring clinical decisions made in the field are automatically reflected in the patient record. Structured data captured in OneDose now flows directly into First Due ePCR, improving documentation accuracy, reducing cognitive load, and strengthening confidence across clinical and administrative teams  

Supporting Safer, Protocol-Driven Care at the Point of Need

OneDose is designed to support clinicians during the moments that matter most. The platform delivers protocol-driven clinical treatment support and medication dosing guidance that helps reduce error while preserving provider judgment. Agencies maintain full control over protocols, workflows, and governance, allowing OneDose to reflect local medical direction rather than enforce rigid, one-size-fits-all logic.

By supporting consistent care delivery under pressure, OneDose helps reduce clinical variance while giving providers confidence in their decisions. The First Due integration ensures those supported decisions do not stop at the bedside but become part of the permanent clinical record.

Turning Real-Time Care into the Official Patient Record

The most significant value of the OneDose and First Due integration is how it eliminates the gap between care delivered and care documented. Medication administrations, treatments, protocol actions, checklists, and timestamps captured in OneDose are automatically transmitted into First Due ePCR as structured, NEMSIS-formatted data.

This removes the need for duplicate entry, retrospective charting, or manual reconstruction after the call. Instead of relying on memory at the end of a shift, the patient record reflects care as it occurred. The result is more complete, accurate, and defensible documentation with less effort from crews.

Reducing Risk Across QA, Compliance, and Medical Oversight

Accurate documentation is not just a reporting requirement. It is the foundation for quality improvement, medical director oversight, and organizational trust. When clinical data is captured automatically at the point of care and flows directly into First Due, agencies gain stronger confidence in the integrity of their records.

Fewer documentation gaps mean fewer post-call corrections. Structured data improves the reliability of QA and QI workflows. Compliance reporting becomes more consistent. Medical directors gain clearer insight into protocol adherence and treatment trends without relying on incomplete or delayed documentation.

Because this data lives inside First Due, agencies can analyze clinical and operational performance alongside the rest of their Fire and EMS data in one platform built for oversight and accountability.

Designed for Providers Without Adding Burden

A common concern with clinical technology is whether it adds yet another system for crews to manage. This integration does the opposite. OneDose supports clinical decision-making in the field, while First Due eliminates the need to document the same actions again later.

Crews document once, during care, and that documentation becomes the official patient record automatically. The result is less cognitive load, fewer administrative steps, and more time focused on patients rather than paperwork.

Available When Agencies Are Ready

The OneDose integration is available as a Tier 2, sellable feature within First Due. Agencies can choose to enable it based on their clinical complexity, documentation requirements, and organizational priorities. This flexibility allows First Due to remain adaptable while offering advanced clinical and documentation capabilities for agencies that need them most.

Why This Matters Now

As EMS systems face increasing scrutiny, tighter documentation standards, and growing expectations around data-driven oversight, fixing documentation after the fact is no longer enough. Risk must be reduced at the source, during care delivery.

By connecting protocol-driven clinical support directly to ePCR, OneDose and First Due help agencies improve safety, accuracy, and confidence across the entire clinical lifecycle.

OneDose supports the care. First Due makes it the record.
