If you or someone you love have been seriously injured or
become ill away from home, it is important to return home
safely and quickly. Patients recover better and faster when in
familiar surroundings and near family. If travel arrangements
must be made by air ambulance, then just pick up the phone.
One simple call to an air ambulance service center will get
the ball rolling and soon the air ambulance will be on its way
to the patient. Operators are available 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week, 365 days per year at most air ambulance service
centers. Patients don't wait until banker's hours to get hurt
or sick, so the air ambulance service industry is always ready
to take the call.
The phone call comes into the center and the operator will
quickly take down the important details and information needed
to begin scheduling the trip. The staff takes the information
and processes the rest of the arrangements. There are no other
hassles or concerns for the patient or the family.
A medical coordinator at the air ambulance service will
begin by looking at the request for air ambulance service
information, then call or contact the appropriate hospital,
doctor, or medical facility where the patient is currently
located. After speaking to someone about the specific details
of the case, the medical coordinator gets to work. The medical
coordinator has quite a job to do. Not only do they have to
keep up on the patient's condition but also learn about any
potential complications that may arise during transit. It is
important for the medical coordinator to accurately record any
in-flight orders and relay this information to the flight
team.
Now that the medical coordinator is informed and briefed on
the situation, it is time to notify the flight crew and medical
staff. The personnel on board the air ambulance must be highly
qualified to care for the patient and the specified needs that
may arise during the flight. All pilots and crew members must
also be informed about the patient's medical condition and
needs.
Although the air ambulance always has standard medical
equipment on board, there are times when specialized medical
tools and equipment must be loaded onto the aircraft to monitor
and treat the patient appropriately during the flight. Each
patient is promised bedside to bedside treatment, so all
equipment must be ready and well-maintained in order to jet off
to the patient in a moment's notice.
As the aircraft is checked and ready for flight, the air
ambulance service staff is filing flight plans and assessing
weather information. Not only is it important to get the plane
to the point of origin of the patient, but also to the
destination. The goal of the air ambulance service is to
transport the patient safely, quickly, and comfortably.
The ground transportation of the patient must also be
coordinated. The medical coordinator contacts the appropriate
ground transportation crews and informs them of the patient's
circumstances and time of arrival.
All of this intense effort and coordination comes together
quickly and efficiently to get the patient to the destination
safely and hassle free. It only takes one phone call to get the
air ambulance on the way. The rest is up to the air ambulance
service.
