BASIC LIFE SUPPORT
A BLS level transport is for patients who require services such as routine vital sign monitoring, oxygen administration, first aid and treatment of shock, and other interventions, as needed.
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation is an essential component of health-care services in the United States. While much attention has focused on the emergency transport of acute and critical care patients, a large percentage of patient transports require non-emergency transport.
This involves the transportation of patients from home, rehabilitation facilities, assisted living, or long-term nursing care facilities to doctors appointments, cancer treatment centers, hospitals, rehabilitation services, or other outpatient services. As our population ages, eventually, most of us will need some form of healthcare to maintain our quality of life.
When it comes to healthcare, there is no "one size fits all" approach. To provide the best experience and quality care for our customers, we start working for you the minute our dispatch department receives your transport request. Our call taker will ask a series of questions to identify any unforeseen factors to help prevent delays for our patients, your loved ones. Information provided, such as pets, steps, or any special considerations, will assist for a means of efficient transport.
