⩥ The QI manager calls your partner into his office after your shift. He
pulls out his EMS report on a call he ran last month on a 45-year-old
driver of a single-vehicle motor vehicle collision. There were several
empty beer cans in the patient's vehicle and the EMT detected an odor of
alcoholic beverages on the patient's breath. The QI manager, however,
critiques your partner about calling the patient an alcoholic and giving
opinions in the report. He tells your partner to never write opinions in
the EMS report. Your partner is confused because he is sure the patient
was drunk, and he was actually arrested for suspicion of driving while
intoxicated. Your partner believes his assessment is supported by facts
and not just his opinion. How can you help your partner understand the
QI manager's concerns? Answer: Documenting that the patient is an
alcoholic gives an incorrect opinion of the patient that is not supported
by facts, and could negatively influence other medical providers.
