It does get better when digital, but there is more to it than one might think when a good tech does it all in a few seconds and a couple of clicks. Positioning and adapting exposures isn’t always straightforward. In terms of tracking imaging, you have to be able to track images back to a patient, and something identifying images needs to relate back. It’s a disaster otherwise and a complete waste of time. That ‘emergency patient’ function isn’t that helpful when it’s completely anonymous and there are several cases. I’ve been a PACS admin for a brief time, and have seen enough to get twitchy. |

The worst incident I have been on as a paramedic involved transporting 73 people from a train derailment. One of the simpler, but crude, methods we had as a fallback, was a sharpie and writing a number on foreheads, etc...
But we had MCI tags, which all have a unique number, would serve as a pseudo-MRN.
