If you are an Emergency Medical Responder, EMT, AEMT, Paramedic, Critical Care Paramedic, Nurse, student, or other medical professional in Pennsylvania looking for an app with the latest protocols and hospital data, iHarig's protocol app is the app for you! This application hosts the fastest updates, works on all platforms, features dark mode for night shifters, and features searching, quick access to PA Medic right within the app, and important state/regional information beyond just displaying protocols. NEW in this release: offline mode with starred protocols, universal search across all levels, useful tools (timers, calculators, and other conversions), and an automatically tracked recently viewed list. With fast (and sharable) updates to content, resources like EMS information bulletins, regional protocols and pilot forms, scope of practice, med lists, hospital data, and other third-party resources curated by iHarig are right at your fingertips! Note, to use offline mode you must initially download protocols with a live connection. The app will periodically check for updates to resources in the background when a live connection is available. PA Medic Hospital information requires a live internet connection. It is the user's responsibility to ensure they are using the latest version of a protocol at allowed scope of practice with current authorization.
