field and in the office. The technology has
prompted a new era of efficiency within the
organization, saving time and money on re-
cording and archiving reports as required by
authorities. Such reporting formerly equated
to a significant operational cost. “We’re re-
quired to keep medical records for up to ten
years, and when you’re making more than

ogy tools. Funding is a huge concern among
EMS operators, and in Oklahoma, more
than 60 services providers have suspended
operations due to lack of funding. At Sinor,
every aspect of operations has been analyzed
for improved efficiency, whether that relates
to the fuel consumed when a vehicle is idling
and not engaged in service, to the ways data
