Profitable Private Transfers Flow From Dispatch

Priority Dispatch’s Medical Transfer Protocol helps private ambulance services make the best use of their resources and bill correctly the first time.

Run a smoother operation from the get-go

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.
