In prehospital medicine, one needs to fill out a Prehospital Care Record (or PCR), which is basically contains the patient's medical history, contact information, insurance information, current medical problem, and what the EMT did for the patient. The patient also needs to recieve a HIPPA form, which just lets the patient know how we can use their health information. If any medication was given by the EMS provider, then there is another form that the physican fills out and that goes with the PCR.
In hospital medicine, during trauma alerts or other when EMS brings in an otherwise critical patient, there is one nurse that takes report from the medic (patient information, and that sort of thing). Then there will be another nurse whose sole job is to write down anything that happens and at what time it happened, for example IV's, blood draws, intubations, medication administered, defibrillation, etc)
Sorry, if I'm not more help. Your question was a little vague.
