RapidRef is the first platform built specifically for the prehospital setting. Rather than adapting general-purpose tools for field use, RapidRef was designed from the ground up around how prehospital agencies actually operate. Agencies upload and manage their own content. Clinical content includes your protocols (ALS, BLS, pediatric), drug formulary, procedures reference, and standard and branching checklists. Integrated calculators support weight-based dosing and clinical scoring tools including GCS, APGAR, Broselow, and ETT sizing. Operations content covers your SOPs, hospital directory, equipment reference, and a configurable resource library. Hospital entries include ER contact numbers, door codes, and capability tracking. Agency administrators manage the full platform from a web-based admin panel, including member accounts, roles, groups, stations, and divisions. Bulk CSV import and email invite flows are supported. Content syncs in the background and remains fully accessible without a network connection. Each deployment is branded to the agency.
