1. A patient data charting system for automated data capture by an electronic patient care record (ePCR) generated during a patient encounter with emergency medical services (EMS), the system comprising:
a local computing device comprising
at least one processor, and
a memory storing at least a portion of a medical protocol and the ePCR comprising a plurality of ePCR data fields; and
at least one user interface device communicatively coupled to the local computing device and comprising a microphone and a speaker,
wherein the microphone is configured to capture spoken patient encounter information,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to
receive the spoken patient encounter information as text information from a speech-to-text conversion application,
determine at least one ePCR data field value based on the text information,
populate at least one ePCR data field of the plurality of ePCR data fields with the at least one ePCR data field value,
generate one or more caregiver prompts based on the at least one ePCR data field value, the one or more caregiver prompts comprising a reminder for a caregiver to perform a patient care activity, wherein the at least a portion of the medical protocol associates the at least one ePCR data field value with the patient care activity, and
provide the one or more caregiver prompts to the speaker, and
wherein the speaker is configured to provide the one or more caregiver prompts as audible prompts for the caregiver.
