Introduction Knowledge of communications
plays an important role in yourparamedic training.
All aspects of prehospital carerequire effective, efficientcommunications.
Communication is the key link in the chain that results in the bestpossible patient outcome.

Communication
The process of exchanging information between individuals

Basic Communication Model
Sender has an idea, or message. Sender encodes message. Sender sends message. Receiver receives message. Receiver decodes message. Receiver gives feedback to sender.

or TECHNICAL
(communications hardware)
Factors that enhance or impede effective communication may be either

Your communication network must consist of
reliable equipment designed to afford clear communication
among all agencies within the system.

Example of an EMS System Using Repeaters
![Page 9: Pt assess communications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070301/5463161bb4af9f531c8b4ab7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
A radio system is a critical component of
an EMS system. Radio Band—a range of radio
frequencies. Radio Frequencies—the number
of times per minute a radio waveoscillates.
Ultrahigh Frequency (UHF)—radio frequency band from 300 to 3,000 megahertz.

Communication Technology
EMS systems use all of today’svarious communicationtechnologies.
These include traditional forms ofradio communication as well asinnovations in radio technology and other media.

A Basic Communications System Using Simplex
Transmissions

Duplex transmissions allow simultaneous two-way
communications.
![Page 13: Pt assess communications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070301/5463161bb4af9f531c8b4ab7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Multiplex systems can transmit voice and data at
the same time.

Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) The agency that controls
all nongovernmental communications in the United States
![Page 16: Pt assess communications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070301/5463161bb4af9f531c8b4ab7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The FCC:
Licenses and allocates radiofrequencies.
Establishes technical standards. Monitors frequencies to assure
appropriate usage. Spot checks base stations and
dispatch centers for appropriatelicenses and records.

Written Communication
An important aspect of EMScommunications.
A prehospital care report (PCR) is a written record of an EMSresponse.
![Page 19: Pt assess communications](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070301/5463161bb4af9f531c8b4ab7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
PCR is a legal
document, admissible
in court.

Reporting Procedures
One of your most important skills will be gathering essential patient information, organizing it, and relaying it to the medical direction physician.
