When should specialty reports be made on channel 92?

Specialty reports on channel 92 should be made right before departure from the scene. This timing is critical because it ensures that all relevant information about the patient’s condition, treatment provided, and any special considerations are communicated effectively to the receiving hospital before the transport begins. Making the report at this moment allows for adequate preparation on the part of the hospital staff, ensuring they are ready to receive the patient and provide the necessary care upon arrival.

Notifying the hospital about the patient's status right before departure from the scene helps ensure that the medical team at the hospital can mobilize resources and prepare for the specific needs of the incoming patient, promoting a smoother transition and improving patient outcomes. This procedure aligns with protocols that prioritize timely and accurate communication of critical patient information to facilitate effective medical care.
