Everyone agrees on the benefit of providing rehab for firefighters engaged in firefighting and strenuous training. However, agreeing with it and putting it into practice sometimes are two different things. Never before has there been a software application designed specifically for tracking firefighter rehab, built to be consistent with the guidelines set in the NFPA 1584 Standard. RehabPro provides a simple solution to fit into it’s client departments’ policy procedure, and practices. We start with an easy to see interface that begins a timer when checked into rehab. This is consistent with rehab accountability, which is often overlooked. The time after check in provides the rehab manager with an accurate time of rest before first set of vitals are taken. The vitals are entered and then repeated after a period of time. The vital signs are computed in the Return to Action (RTA) ® Algorithm and will alert the rehab manager when someone is flagged to not return to work. All vital information is uploaded into the users individual profile, which is protected information and only able to be accessed by the individual member. The department is able to run statistics on the rehab history, however the program ensures that only data which guarantees anonymity is available. Building this program speaks to us and our core values of working toward firefighter safety.
Let’s face it. Rehab hasn’t always been the most glamorous part of the firefighting job. However, the amount of health related firefighter fatalities is staggering. Utilizing a NFPA 1854 compliant system to help administer your rehab, and maintaining documentation is a better option for your members and the department.

If you would like to see how RehabPro works, we are happy to set up a no-obligation 1 on 1 web demo.
Vital Signs
Each member in rehab has their own panel for vitals, critical information, intake, notes, etc. Each one is on it’s own timer. Multiple sets of vitals and multiple rehab cycles are supported.
Critical Info Check Boxes
With a simple click, critical information such as chest pain or trouble breathing is documented. A toxic exposure report is generated for the member with a single check of the box.
History and Intake
A push of the button allows you to track a members intake with a selection from a pre-configured menu. Also free text allows you to add intake items to further encourage total documentation of rehab.
Rehabbing Companies
When a resource is assigned to rehab, this is where they will populate. Selecting on the resource opens up the main rehab page for the individual members. This area has a timer associated for resources that has a visual color bar showing time.
RehabPro is designed in a manner that is easy to use. Replacing crumbled, scribbled note paper with an organized digital interface, creates a lasting document and record of compliance. The layout is easy to use and the learning curve is extremely quick. This is the reason most people find our solution easy enough to use under pressure during emergency events.
RehabPro is a full fledged solution. We take the health of firefighters very seriously and have developed this program to be inclusive of all key metrics during the rehab process. We use these data points and run a “Return to Work” algorithm to help determine a members fitness for returning to assignment on the fire or training. Below is just a partial list of features.
The NFPA standard lines out the responsibilities of the fire department or district in providing rehabilitation for our working firefighters, during emergencies and training. Many firefighters die every year due to heart related incidents, often after the fire. This standard is designed to help identify those potential issues and prevent firefighter death or injury based on exertion.
NFPA 1584 states that checking vital signs in rehab is necessary.
NFPA 1584 states that accountability must be maintained in rehab.
