Attention healthcare providers: The medical records upload page will be updated on Wednesday, July 23 at 7:00 am ET. A brief service interruption of about 10 minutes may occur. After the update, facilities will be required to include the patient's date of birth when uploading medical records. We appreciate your patience while this improvement is put in place.

Join us on July 22 for a free educational webinar exploring practical strategies to improve emergency cardiovascular care, strengthen care coordination, and support better patient outcomes across healthcare settings. For details and to register, visit our webinars page.
