Introduction Knowledge of communications
plays an important role in yourparamedic training.
All aspects of prehospital carerequire effective, efficientcommunications.
Communication is the key link in the chain that results in the bestpossible patient outcome.

Communication
The process of exchanging information between individuals

Basic Communication Model
Sender has an idea, or message. Sender encodes message. Sender sends message. Receiver receives message. Receiver decodes message. Receiver gives feedback to sender.

Your communication network must consist of reliable equipment designed to afford clear communication among all agencies within the system.

A radio system is a critical component of
an EMS system. Radio Band—a range of radio
frequencies. Radio Frequencies—the number
of times per minute a radio waveoscillates.
Ultrahigh Frequency (UHF)—radio frequency band from 300 to 3,000 megahertz.

Written Communication
An important aspect of EMScommunications.
A prehospital care report (PCR) is a written record of an EMSresponse.
![Page 12: Communications. Topics Role and Importance of Communications Phases of Communications Data Collection Technology and Information Exchange Components.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/5697bf9f1a28abf838c94c99/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
PCR is a legal
document, admissible
in court.

Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) The agency that controls
all nongovernmental communications in the United States
![Page 32: Communications. Topics Role and Importance of Communications Phases of Communications Data Collection Technology and Information Exchange Components.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062806/5697bf9f1a28abf838c94c99/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The FCC:
Licenses and allocates radiofrequencies.
Establishes technical standards. Monitors frequencies to assure
appropriate usage. Spot checks base stations and
dispatch centers for appropriatelicenses and records.
