St John New Zealand has begun the roll-out of its new electronic patient report form (ePRF) using technology from Irish firm Valentia Technologies, as part of a national move from paper records to an electronic clinical record for ambulance transfers of care.

Valentia's CareMonX ePRF suite went live last month in 60 ambulances in the Hauraki, Coromandel and Waikato districts, with the system to be rolled out to more than 600 vehicles by the end of March next year.
