NARRATIVE PORTION

Space has been provided at the bottom of the form to document a very brief narrative of the incident. Calls of any significance will require the use of the Additional Narrative Sheet.

A MAIS Supplemental Form should be used to document the following:

• If an ALS provider downgrades a patient for BLS transport, document the event on a MAIS Additional Narrative.
  
  
• Any time you feel you need to document your event more thoroughly (and you are not completing the MAIS form), document the event using a MAIS Additional Narrative.
  
  
• Place all completed MAIS and MAIS Additional Narrative in the lock box for collection. Once collected, all MAIS and MAIS Additional Narratives will be combined to form a complete record. It is OK to have 1 MAIS form and 2 or more MAIS Additional Narratives as part of the legal document. The important thing is to document your actions.
  
  
• MAIS forms and MAIS Additional Narratives should be placed in the lock boxes. All other paperwork, patient info sheets, 4x4s with vitals, etc (including carbon paper) should be shredded.
