MIRF Procedures
King County Emergency Medical Services (KC EMS) annually updates the Medical Incident Report Form (MIRF). There are changes for the 2010 form and it is essential that EMT-Bs are accurate when filling out these forms. KC EMS has published a Two Minute Trainer regarding these 2010 changes - please familiarize yourself with them! http://www.emsonline.net/assets/TwoMinuteMIRFTrainer.pdf
