Additional Information
● A multiple-entry configuration with Personnel Level Permitted to use the Procedure (D04_05)
● If local systems have procedures which are not listed in the current values, additional procedures may be added using
CPT codes from the ICD-9 standard. The CPT code should be stored and passed via the XML. This will allow
expansion of the list to formally add new procedures over time
● Used to create a list box for Procedure (E19_03)
Uses
● Allows data to be sorted based on an agency's Procedure capabilities
● Provides descriptive information when combined with an EMS Agency’s Billing Status
● Used to create a list box for Response to Procedure (E19_08)
Data Collector
● EMS Agency and typically only documented once then verified and updated yearly or when changed
