For private ambulance services, profitable transfers hinge on accurate information and efficient, rapid deployment of resources – and the best possible response begins at dispatch. The Medical Transfer Protocol lets Emergency Dispatchers accurately process and triage calls to send the right resources to the right place at the right time, with receipts. The result is safe, efficient, and cost-effective patient transfers between facilities, done right the first time.
The ability to enter the protocol number early in case entry helps dispatchers move quickly through call-taking, while the questions regarding a patient’s medication, equipment, and bariatric needs allow us to properly allocate resources.
The information gathered with these protocols has eased some of the pressure off the billing departments need to hunt for information and eliminated the need to do any follow-up with facilities.
