RapidRef is a field reference platform built for fire and EMS - by providers, for providers. Your agency's protocols, dosing, and operations in one app. • Protocols with dosing built in: ALS, BLS, and pediatric protocols carry their own weight-based doses and scoring tools (GCS, APGAR, Broselow, ETT), so the calculation lives in the protocol, not a separate lookup. • Cardiac arrest support: run a live code with dual timers, epinephrine countdown, shockable and non-shockable branches, pediatric dosing, one-tap logging, and a compression metronome. Export any code as a PDF for debrief and QI. • Formulary, procedures, and checklists: your drug formulary, procedures reference, and standard or branching checklists. • Department operations: SOPs, a hospital directory with ER lines, door codes, and capabilities, an equipment reference, and a configurable resource library. • Fast to find: search across all your content and pin what you reach for most. • Works fully offline: everything syncs in the background and stays available with no signal. • Managed by your agency: admins handle members, roles, groups, stations, and divisions from a web panel, with CSV import, email invites, and push or in-app alerts linked to the right protocol. • Built for both fire and EMS: and always advancing. RapidRef is developed by active providers and improved release after release, with serious new capabilities underway for both sides of the service. This is a platform that keeps growing with the field, not a static reference.
