Create a single source of truth
Clinical protocols and SOPs are often scattered across binders, shared drives, and email. PowerDMS centralizes policies in one secure location, giving EMS teams reliable access to the most current guidance while reducing the complexity of managing EMS policies and procedures.
Track and verify policy review
When agencies cannot confirm who has reviewed policy updates, liability increases. PowerDMS provides clear visibility into acknowledgements so leaders know staff are aligned with current protocols.
Standardize policy distribution
Sharing updates through multiple channels creates gaps between shifts and staffing types. PowerDMS ensures policy updates are delivered consistently to all EMS personnel from one centralized platform.
Provide mobile access to SOPs
EMS providers often need protocols during or between calls. PowerDMS makes documents easily accessible on mobile devices so responders can quickly reference the correct information when decisions matter.
- Time Intensive
- Fragmented Documentation
- Team Silos
- Readiness Proof
Simplify Audit Preparation
Preparing for CAAS, CAMTS, and state EMS audits requires extensive documentation. PowerDMS organizes standards and supporting materials to reduce preparation time and administrative burden.
Centralize accreditation materials
When standards and evidence are stored in multiple locations, maintaining compliance becomes difficult. PowerDMS brings all accreditation documentation together in one structured system.
Coordinate accreditation efforts
Accreditation involves medical directors, QA staff, operations, and leadership. PowerDMS provides a shared workspace so responsibilities are clear and progress is easy to track.
Demonstrate ongoing compliance
EMS agencies need to clearly demonstrate readiness and quality. PowerDMS helps document compliance activities and continuous improvement efforts in a way that is easy to present to regulators.

Customer testimonials
PowerEngage provides our staff positive feedback and a way to get closure after calls
We recently had an influx of lateral applicants because they wanted to work somewhere that made their wellness a priority.
I love it when something just works! Engage’s candidate pre-screening has saved me hours finding qualified applicants.
A large part of winning the appeal (in a case to determine just cause for termination) was the user-friendly setup of PowerReady. Without the ease of use, our CTOs wouldn’t have been as comfortable doing the documentation and would’ve been less likely to utilize the system to its full advantage.
PowerEngage constantly reminds our 311 staff how much citizens appreciate the work they do.
