Overview

For emergency service staff (such as paramedics) its important to know as much information as possible before attending a call or to provide a hospital as much information and possible when transporting or bring in a patient. ACR codes are an efficient and fast way for staff to relay this information.

Note: Italicized codes are considered "optional"
