When your loved one needs medical attention your local medical facilities can’t provide, you need long-distance medical transportation to safely move the patient from one location to another. This is often different from the typical ambulance service with which individuals are most familiar. Before you choose any provider for the job, there are certain factors you must consider.
Transporting a loved one who is lying flat in a bed is more intricate than sitting someone in a seat and buckling him or her in. This means there are specific safety precautions that need to be taken to ensure the safety of the patient, including securing the stretcher properly within the vehicle and supplying medical professionals who can administer patient care along the way. Always ask which type of medical care is available from a long-distance medical transportation provider.
Traveling long distances is often difficult for those who are suffering from many medical conditions. Before you hire a transportation company, ask about what steps they take to ensure the comfort of their patients. Be sure to inquire about allowing family members to travel with the patient. If this is allowed, how many are welcome? It is also important to find out what types of mattresses and materials they use on the stretcher to ensure the comfort of the patient throughout the entire ride.
There are several ways in which a long-distance medical transportation provider can transfer a patient from one location into a medical facility in a new location. As you consider your options, ask about how they transfer patients. A good provider will safely move the patient from his or her bed to a well-equipped stretcher, right in the patient’s room. The vehicle in which the transport takes place should also be equipped and allow for seamless transitions into and out of the vehicle for all patients. Many patients can’t get out of their beds to transfer into a new medical transfer vehicle, ambulance, or air medical transport.
Finding the right long-distance medical transportation provider is critical to the health and safety of the patient. As you choose from the various options, you need to know which questions to ask and what to look for in order to find the best provider for the job.
