3.3.9 Summary Record of Care / Tactical Combat Casualty Care
The Tempus contains an electronic patient record card known as a Summary Record of Care (SRoC). This
is completed semi-automatically through the collection of vital signs and the use of the Event button. SRoC
allows the user to record patient trauma details and to review historic events and trends.
SRoC is automatically augmented with patient encounter data when:
 An arrhythmia alarm is triggered. The Tempus Pro automatically logs an event. You can also store a
snapshot of the waveform at the same time, see the All Alarms menu.
 A waveform snapshot is manually captured. To capture a waveform at any time, press and release the
Camera & Waveform Snapshot button.
 A 12 Lead ECG is recorded.
 A camera or laryngoscope image is recorded. For laryngoscope details refer to Tempus Pro
Laryngoscope Supplement Guide.
 An ultrasound image is recorded. Images can be taken during general and FAST exams. Refer to
Tempus Pro Ultrasound Supplement Guide.
Tempus Pro can also be configured to record a Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) card (this feature
only applies to Tempus units configured with the TCCC patient report type); for details see “9.3.2 Updating
the TCCC card”.
3.3.10 Previous activity button
The Previous Activity button allows the user to return to the last non-monitoring function that they were using
i.e.:
 TCCC card
 Summary Record of Care
 Enter patient details
 Discharge patient
3.3.11 Trends
All vital signs are captured on the device. These can be easily viewed as a graphical or tabular trend. Also
included in the trends are all alarm states and Events.
3.3.12 Data handover
The Events, Trauma Record and Trend data (as well as photos and 12 Lead ECGs) are automatically
collated together to form a Summary Record of Care patient report. This can be exported from the Tempus
via USB and handed to the next caregiver within the care path. Should the next caregiver have a Tempus
Pro, the data may then be viewed and augmented on that unit. Alternatively, the data may be viewed on
any computer that is capable of reading .PDF files.
3.3.13 Email
An encrypted PDF formatted Summary Record of Care can be shared using email. Encryption and data
transfer are performed using FIPS- 140-2 compliant technology.
3.3.14 ePCR export
Summary Record of Care data can be exported to an electronic Patient Care Reporting system (ePCR).
Encryption and data transfer are performed using FIPS- 140-2 compliant technology. This feature is
optional.
