Certification cards for EMS providers in the Commonwealth are now being printed with bar-coded certification numbers on the wallet card--please see the sample by clicking here.
The purpose in the barcode is for use in the electronic tracking, recording, and submission of continuing education (CE) records to the Office. This is the first step the Office is taking in the process of moving away from paper based bubble cards for submission of CE.
For now, there is nothing special that you need to do, just keep your new bar-coded certification card in your wallet. The Office is in the process of moving to a new scanning system. Development of software is underway and the testing and final certification of the software is scheduled to be completed in December.
