Abstract:

Often the first of many documents written about patients, the Emergency Medical Service's run report genre is a preprinted form on which prehospital care providers record the events of an emergency. These forms are important analytically since they represent the evolutionary outcome of the practices and interests of the multiple professions engaged in caring for critically ill or injured patients. Relative positions of power, authority, status, and autonomy among a set of affiliated professions can be examined by studying the historical evolution of a shared workplace genre such as the run report.
