Which phase is defined by documenting status, location, and availability after a run?

• A. Postrun
• B. Transfer of patient to ambulance
• C. Arrive at facility
• D. En route to station

Answer: (A)

The post-run phase is the wrap-up after a call, focusing on recording what happened, where the unit is, and whether it’s ready for the next assignment. This documentation of status, location, and availability ensures accurate records, clear communication for the next crew, and that equipment is restocked and the unit is ready to respond again. It’s distinct from en route to station (returning to base), arriving at a facility (handoff at the hospital), or transfer of the patient to hospital staff, which occur at different points in the run.
