1. GPS tracking
By increasing productivity, lowering expenses, and improving patient experience, GPS tracking technology has the potential to impact the course of Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) services in the future. NEMT providers may monitor vehicle positions in real-time and adjust routes using GPS tracking devices, which lowers wait times and boosts efficiency overall. Patients can have more transparency and control over their transit experience with GPS tracking.
2. Electronic Health Records (EHRs)
By fostering better communication and collaboration amongst healthcare professionals, NEMT providers, and patients, electronic health records (EHRs) have the potential to influence the direction of non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) services in the future.
