What is BCAS Mail?

BCAS Mail is an electronic mail system used by BC Ambulance Service to send medical reports, patient information, and other relevant documents to healthcare providers, hospitals, and other stakeholders.

How does it work?

When a patient is transported to a hospital or other healthcare facility by BC Ambulance Service, the paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) document the patient's condition, treatment, and any relevant medical information. This information is then uploaded to the BCAS Mail system, where it is reviewed and verified by BCAS staff.

Once verified, the medical report is sent electronically to the receiving healthcare provider or facility, usually within minutes of the patient's arrival. This ensures that healthcare providers have timely access to critical patient information, which can inform their treatment decisions and improve patient care.
