A Platinum Planner alternative built only for EMS
If you're weighing a move away from Platinum Planner, here is what FlagshipEMS does, what it costs, and how your records come with you. It's built for EMS programs and nothing else, and every price is published.
Bring your Platinum records with you
Moving your records over is free on every plan, and you do it yourself in an afternoon:
- Export a report from Platinum Planner as Excel or CSV: students, shifts and hours, patient contacts, skills or grades.
- Upload it on the Import page in FlagshipEMS, pick Platinum Planner as the source and say which kind of record it holds.
- Check the column matches and the preview. Nothing saves until you say so.
- Import. Patient rows keep only the age group, complaint and skills, so names and record numbers never leave your browser. If an import goes wrong, undo it.
Rather hand it off? Our Records import service ($249, one time) does it for you from the same exports.
Getting the export out of Platinum Planner
In Platinum Planner, run the report that lists the records you want and export it to Excel. The General Report works well for shifts and hours. Run one export per kind of record: students, shifts, patient contacts, skills or grades. If a file has a title or date line above the column names, the importer lets you pick the row the names are on. Not sure which report to run? Email us a sample with the student details removed and we'll tell you.
What you get on every plan
- Clinical and field shifts on a calendar, logged by students and approved by instructors or preceptors.
- Patient contacts by age group and complaint, counted against the minimums you set.
- Skills sign-offs that follow the NREMT skill sheets for each level, with printable sheets.
- Preceptor and clinical site logins, preceptor evaluations, custom forms and surveys.
- Accreditation reports: a student minimum competency summary laid out like the CoAEMSP SMC matrix, cohort outcomes, clinical affiliates, sentinel events and a self-study checklist.
- A grade book with NREMT readiness, quizzes and exams from your own question bank.
- Competency tracking for every student and a portfolio PDF with your verified stamp.
A phone app students don't have to download
Students and instructors add FlagshipEMS to their home screen straight from the browser, on iPhone or Android. There's no app store update to wait for, and a shift log saved without signal sends itself once the phone is back online. Students sign in with the email on your roster or their school Google or Microsoft account.
One price for the program, not per student
FlagshipEMS is free for one instructor with one class. Programs pay one flat price, never per student: the Program plan is $59 a month, $315 a semester or $590 a year for unlimited instructors and students across up to 5 active cohorts, and Department is $149 a month with no cohort limit. Every feature is on every plan, every paid plan has a 14-day trial with no card, and colleges can pay by invoice. See every price.
What we don't do (yet)
We'd rather you hear it from us. FlagshipEMS doesn't sell a pre-written question bank or adaptive testing: you write or upload your own questions. If something you rely on today is missing, tell us. If every program can use it, we build it without raising your price.
Common questions
- Can I import my records from Platinum Planner?
- Yes, for free on every plan. Export students, shifts and hours, patient contacts, skills or grades from Platinum Planner as Excel or CSV, upload the file, check the column matches and preview, and import. You can undo an import.
- Do students pay per student, like some clinical tracking tools?
- No. FlagshipEMS charges the program one flat price however many students you enroll, and nothing is billed to students.
- Does FlagshipEMS have a mobile app?
- Yes. It installs from the browser on iPhone and Android, works for students, instructors and preceptors, and saves shift logs offline until the phone has signal again.
- Can we run FlagshipEMS alongside Platinum while we switch?
- Yes. Start with one class on the free plan, or start a 14-day trial of a paid plan with no card, and move the rest when you're ready.
