Attention All Agencies: NYS has announced that NEMSIS Critical Patch 6 is now required for all ePCR submissions. Agencies utilizing either the Central Elite ImageTrend or any of the NYS ImageTrend Ambulance, ALSFR, or BLSFR Portals, no action is needed at this time. Agencies using their own software vendors (emsCharts, iPCR, Cloud, ESO, etc.) should contact your software vendors and ensure they have implemented this update into your systems to avoid any disruption to your ePCRs being received by NYS.

Good afternoon,

This is a reminder that Critical Patch 6 must now be incorporated into the schematron validation process.

Please remember that:

1. NEMSIS 3.5.0 Critical Patch 6 is now required for New York state.

2. Any failed charts need to be updated with the new Schema and must be resubmitted

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to emsdata@health.ny.gov
