PDF format. Several items have been added and the format that information is entered has also been changed. Added to the Version-5 are:. There are no special tools required to complete the PCR, however it must be completed using black ink to be read by a scanner. Each form is bonded at the top. Care must be taken that what is written on one PCR set does not come through on the set below an aluminum form-holder clipboard is recommended. It is important that firm pressure with a ballpoint pen be used.

Be as neat, complete and accurate as possible when completing this form. If a section does not apply to a particular call, leave it blank.

It is important for the crew members to review the document before it is submitted. If an error is made prior to the PCR being submitted, enter the correct information on a second PCR and destroy all copies of the first form.

Military time must be used for all time entries on the PCR. Military time can be easily calculated by adding 12 hours to any time after noon and before midnight. All military times are in four-digit form. Some areas of the PCR are printed in red. This is for scanning purposes, the scanner does not read red please be sure you fill out the form with black or blue ink. Non-Hospital Disposition Codes: A listing of codes used other than state hospital codes. Hospital Receiving Agent: This section is available for those agencies required to obtain a signature from the hospital personnel receiving the patient.

When used, open the form so that the signature is on the agency white copy only if you do not open the form, the signature will not appear on your agency copy.

Leave this empty:. Elmira, NY Phone: Dispatch Codes Southern Tier transporting agencies only. Note: This copy is identified by a pink stripe along the bottom edge of the page. Advanced Life Support First Response ALS FR Agency: Must be provided to the transport agency prior to the transport agency leaving the scene if no representative of the agency will be accompanying the patient to the hospital. If a representative is accompanying the patient than they must provide the completed copy to the hospital prior to leaving as above.

PCRs shall be submitted at least monthly, or more often if so indicated by the program agency. Note: this copy is identified by a yellow stripe along the bottom edge of the page.

Version 5 The Department of Health maintains a data system that tracks all inpatient care in hospitals by linking some of the data, Version-5 of the PCR will allow for the collection of additional data. Because DNA polymerase can add a nucleotide only onto a preexisting 3'-OH group, it needs a primer to which it can add the first nucleotide. This requirement makes it possible to delineate a specific region of template sequence that the researcher wants to amplify.

At the end of the PCR reaction, the specific sequence will be accumulated in billions of copies amplicons. At the beginning of the reaction, high temperature is applied to the original double-stranded DNA molecule to separate the strands from each other.

DNA polymerase - a type of enzyme that synthesizes new strands of DNA complementary to the target sequence.
