What is the purpose of the 'Green Card' given to physicians on scene?

• A. To document their offer of assistance.
• B. To authorize EMS transport.
• C. To record insurance information.
• D. To indicate sepsis criteria.

Answer: (A)

The Green Card is used to document a physician’s offer to assist on scene. It signals to the EMS team that a physician is present and willing to help with patient care, helping coordinate who handles what tasks under medical oversight. It isn’t meant to authorize transport, record insurance information, or indicate sepsis criteria. Transport decisions remain guided by EMS protocols and medical control, not this card.
