Capture patient care in the field. Even when connectivity is limited.

Ambulance crews do not always work where reliable internet access is available. Patient documentation still needs to continue while the crew is treating and transporting the patient.

Bapple's offline patient capture is designed to support field documentation when connectivity is unavailable, allowing the Patient Care Report to continue developing during the ambulance journey and reconnect with the wider EMS environment when connectivity returns.

The ambulance keeps moving. The patient record should too.

Support structured patient documentation in environments where crews cannot depend on continuous connectivity, while keeping the field record connected to the complete Patient Care Report.

01

Field Capture

Give ambulance crews a practical way to capture patient and case information while working away from the office.

Ambulance crew
02

Clinical Capture

Continue recording relevant observations, assessment, treatment and other clinical information during the patient journey.

Patient care
03

Offline Working

Support patient capture when a usable internet connection is unavailable instead of stopping the documentation process.

Limited connectivity
04

PRF Capture

Keep field information structured around the Patient Care Report rather than creating separate temporary notes that later need to be recaptured.

05

Synchronisation

Allow captured field information to reconnect with the wider EMS environment when suitable connectivity becomes available again.

06

Connected Case

Keep the information captured in the field connected to the patient case that continues through completion, billing and administration.

EMS workflow

Capture now. Connect when you can.

Connectivity should not determine when a medic can document the patient. Keep the field workflow focused on the case and reconnect the information when network access becomes available.

01

Open

Open or continue the Patient Care Report for the ambulance case.

Capture

Record patient, clinical and operational information as the case develops.

03

Store

Keep the captured information available while the crew is operating without a usable connection.

04

Reconnect

Reconnect the field record with the wider EMS system when connectivity returns.

Emergency care happens beyond reliable networks.

Ambulances operate across towns, highways, rural areas and remote locations. Network conditions can change throughout a single patient journey.

A field documentation process that depends entirely on continuous internet access can become difficult to use exactly when the crew needs it.

Offline patient capture is designed to give crews more continuity by allowing documentation to continue when connectivity is temporarily unavailable.

Keep building the PRF while the case is happening.

Patient documentation is most useful when it develops with the case rather than being reconstructed later from memory or temporary notes.

Bapple's field capture approach keeps relevant patient, clinical and operational information centred around the same Patient Care Report.

The objective is to let the ambulance crew focus on documenting the actual case while maintaining a structured record that can continue into the wider EMS workflow.

Offline in the field. Connected to the EMS business.

The field record should not become a separate system. Keep the Patient Care Report connected as the case moves from ambulance operations into completion, billing and financial administration.

Billing

Reconnect the case. Don't recapture the paperwork.

Offline capture should solve the connectivity problem without creating a second administration problem when the ambulance returns to an area with network access.

The information captured in the field is intended to reconnect with the wider patient case so the EMS team can continue working with the same record.

That means the work done by the ambulance crew remains useful beyond the field and can continue through the later administrative stages of the case.

READY

Designed around field reality. Connected to the office workflow.

Offline patient capture helps bridge the gap between the unpredictable connectivity ambulance crews experience in the field and the connected administration required after the patient case.

For the Crew

Keep patient documentation available where the ambulance team is actually delivering care.

For the Case

Keep field information structured around the same PRF instead of producing another disconnected record.

For Administration

Continue working with the information captured in the field once the case reconnects with the EMS system.

Important: Offline operation depends on the information and functionality made available to the field capture environment. Synchronisation also requires connectivity to return. Offline capability should therefore be configured and tested for the organisation's actual operational workflow before deployment.
THE OBJECTIVE

Keep documenting the patient. Even when the network disappears.

Give ambulance crews a way to continue capturing patient details, incident information, ambulance times, kilometres, observations, assessments, medications and interventions when reliable connectivity is unavailable.

Keep that field information centred around the Patient Care Report so the case can reconnect with the wider EMS workflow instead of forcing crews and administrators to recreate the patient record later.
