2019 01 (Revision 3) Updated and Implemented NYS Schematron

In an effort to fix critical issues in the New York State Schematron, we have updated the Schematron with 2019 01 (Revision 3) and implemented it on the NYS Elite Site effective immediately.  The Schematron is currently in effect on the NYS Site and contains the following revisions:
 

• eSituation.01 Date/Time of Symptom Onset/Last Normal ~ rule 694 replaced with rule 963 to allow for Not Recorded to be an acceptable value
• eVitals.13 Pulse Rhythm removed completely
• eVitals.11 Method of Heart Rate Measurement ~ rule changed to warning for six months

 
The Schematron is attached for the software vendors to implement and this has been implemented on all NYS sites.  A separate email will be sent to the Regional Elite Sites for rule updates to be completed.  If you have any questions, please email them to EMSData@health.ny.gov or if you are encountering issues with particular software programs, please submit on our form at
