The Allegheny Health Network (AHN), EMS Field Partner application is intended primarily for use in the geographic area encompassing western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, northern West Virginia and western New York, but also may be utilized by those throughout the country as a reference tool. Designed for all Public Safety Personnel, this Application was conceptualized by the EMS professionals of the Allegheny Health Network, Prehospital Care Services of Pittsburgh, PA and developed by Ritter Mobile Technology of Germany. The AHN EMS Field Partner enables the provider to not only quickly reference referral information for medical and traumatic emergencies, but also provides the ability to link directly with Medical Command at the receiving hospital. The GPS function provides accurate coordinates to LifeFlight dispatch to speed the dispatch of helicopters when needed. Other functions within the EMS Field Partner are: • Identifiers for Hospital Specialty Treatment • Directions from the scene of the emergency to the appropriate AHN or partner hospital • Staff references and facility contact information • Education Reference and Online Registration • AHN EMS Pocket Reference • Pennsylvania’s ALS, AEMT, BLS & Critical Care Transport Protocols Although all Public Safety Providers may utilize the EMS App, registration is required for full activation and functionality. Registration is free and will take less than 5 minutes.
Good app. Needs updates.
Good app for a provider. Needs the 2024 protocols though.

Needs a drug library
The ONLY thing I liked more about the UPMC EMS app than this AHN app was its drug library. It listed a comprehensive information section for every drug on the PA EMS approved medication list. Furthermore, on each drug page, it had links to every protocol where the drug might be used. It was very nice. As it stands, if I want info on a drug, I need to switch over to Epocrates. If AHN added a good drug library (comparable to Epocrates…ESPECIALLY if they added a drug calculator), it would be absolutely amazing. Also, AHN, don’t forget, the 2021 BLS, ALS, and CCT protocols are now out.
Needs some changes
The pediatric cardiac arrest protocol is completely blank. They removed the feature where you could put the phone horizontal and get the horizontal view, which made viewing in detail much easier. Now you have to zoom in on the vertical view which cuts off the sides. There is no comprehensive drug library like there was with the UPMC EMS app.
Not the Same
Bring back the EMS chart starter please! I loved that function of this awesome app!
Tools keeps closing not very helpful
Tool keeps closing when you open . Not to helpful..... please fix

You added the EMS charts starter / notes section a year or 2 ago and it has never worked; why not fix it or just eliminate it all together....
