OVIEDO, Fla., Sept. 30, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- EPR Fireworks and Schedule2.IT, two leading providers in the field of Fire and EMS records management and controlled substance accountability, have announced a preferred strategic partnership aimed at streamlining and unifying critical workflows within emergency medical services (EMS) operations. This collaboration brings together the strengths of both companies to address a significant gap in current EMS technology, where patient care records and controlled substance accountability are managed through separate, disconnected systems.
EPR Fireworks, a provider of an integrated Fire and EMS Records Management System (RMS), has joined forces with Schedule2.IT, a specialized platform designed to track and comply with controlled substance regulations for Fire, EMS, and other medical agencies. The partnership seeks to eliminate the need for EMS providers and agencies to navigate multiple systems and duplicate processes, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and reducing the burden on field crews.
Under the partnership, EPR Fireworks will serve as Schedule2.IT's preferred Fire and EMS RMS partner, while Schedule2.IT will serve as EPR Fireworks' preferred partner for narcotics tracking and controlled substance compliance. This strategic alliance will extend EPR Fireworks' comprehensive suite of tools for managing Fire and EMS operations to include specialized controlled substance technology, creating a more unified workflow for providers and agencies.
Schedule2.IT, purpose-built for controlled substance accountability, offers agencies visibility and control across the entire medication lifecycle, from inventory and chain of custody to reconciliation, waste, diversion, and compliance reporting. The platform's capabilities include barcode-enabled workflows and tracking across personnel, apparatus, stations, and inventory locations. By integrating with EPR Fireworks, providers can document the patient encounter in EPR Fireworks while the associated controlled substance activity is managed through Schedule2.IT, creating a seamless path from medication administration through patient care documentation and medication accountability.
The partnership's benefits extend beyond the technology itself. By bringing together EPR Fireworks' expertise in Fire and EMS operations and Schedule2.IT's specialized controlled substance accountability, the companies aim to provide a more holistic solution for agencies seeking to improve their operational efficiency and compliance. The collaboration will be showcased through a joint webinar, scheduled for Wednesday, November 4, from 12:30 to 1:15 PM ET, where attendees can see the integration in action and hear directly from both companies about the partnership.

The partnership between EPR Fireworks and Schedule2.IT represents a significant step forward in the evolution of EMS technology, offering a more unified and efficient workflow for agencies managing both patient care and controlled substance accountability. As agencies seek to improve their operational efficiency and compliance, this strategic alliance positions EPR Fireworks and Schedule2.IT as key players in the ongoing evolution of EMS technology.
