The SafetyPAD system was developed to initially support high performance systems where  rapid, user-friendly and comprehensive EMS documentation and robust backend system-wide management were keys to overall success.  Ongoing improvements and system design allow for a completely scalable system supporting 400 to 400,000+ patient care reports annually.
