Call Codes

[Guest guest]

A fellow EMT who I work with informed me that Our Company uses dispatch codes to

maintain patient confidentiality. We both agree that it DOES NOT maintain

 patient confidentiality, because NO PATIENT INFORMATION is broadcast over the

radio, other than the type of call. We are both under the impression that Radio

Codes were being phased out.

Example- 66D1= difficulty breathing or 38B5 for a MVA with injuries.

Any opinions out there?
