Document Care

Q: When should I document care?: You should document care anytime you are providing care or providing medical advice to a participant.
Q: When should I use minor assistance?: You should use mine or assistance when you are interacting with an athlete but it is a quick and counter where you don't really need to even check their medical information to provide care. This is often giving somebody a bag of ice or Vaseline or something simple. It is something that the athlete ends up doing themselves.
Q: How should document Medical/MSK data?: You should try to document your actions in real time when they occur. Your actions are time stamped and displayed in chronological order so you can follow how the participants signs and symptoms are evolving.
Q: Can I take care of more than one participant at a time?: It's possible to take care of multiple people at the same time. You can have several active events open, as often times you will be taking care of more than one athlete. Click on the menu at the top right. Then select “Your Active Events” and click on the event you want to resolve.
Q: Why am I not able to proceed through the registration and training process?: If you work at a hospital or clinic, certain network restrictions may be interfering with the layout of the website and you cannot see the buttons at the bottom of the page. Similarly, older version of Internet Explorer cause layout issues. Please try using a different network or browser if you can’t figure out how to proceed.
