1. A defibrillation electrode for use with a plurality of defibrillation devices, the defibrillation electrode comprising:
a connector configured to operably couple the defibrillation electrode to at least one of a first defibrillation device and a second defibrillation device;
a skin contacting portion configured to contact skin of a patient; and
a housing comprising non-volatile memory and associated circuitry, the non-volatile memory and associated circuitry configured to:
store a device identifier readable by the first defibrillation device and the second defibrillation device to identify the defibrillation electrode,
receive medical treatment information from the first defibrillation device via the connector, the medical treatment information comprising at least one of: patient physiological data, patient characteristic data, and rescuer performance data,
receive timing information of the medical treatment information from the first defibrillation device via the connector, wherein the timing information of the medical treatment information comprises a time at which the medical treatment information was recorded by the first defibrillation device,
record the medical treatment information, and
transfer, upon detecting an electrical connection to the second defibrillation device, the medical treatment information to the second defibrillation device.
