Abstract: Documentation by protocol in a physicianguided emergency service system (EMS) has to be reviewed. The multi-staging functions are: Transmission of patient state and information, evaluation of efficiency and quality assurance, maintaining the database for scientific research. Performance of data acquisition should be available a short distance away the emergency event and process. The best set-up would be more the computer system and the tool of documentation acted as a functional unit. There are three ways of process engineering: documentation by paperprotocol, paper-for-documentreader (OMR) and PC-aided off/online system. The idea of a standard protocol published by the DIVI depending on the common sense of all users has not yet spread over the whole country yet. However, a minimal data set (MIND) for EMS service can be used to integrate the content of the existing data acquisition models into a common concept. With this concept it will be possible to compare the different data sets in the aspects of internal and external quality assurance.
