Things to Remember: non-emergency medical transportation
+The main motive of non-emergency medical transport systems is to help people who need to come to the hospital again and again after having been discharged, inter-facility transfers, pre-scheduled appointments, or posthospitalization.
+The non-emergency medical transport provides a comfortable, safe, and reliable service to patients.
Different kinds of the nonemergency ambulance services
· NEMT (non-emergency medical transport): NEMT services specialize to offer transportation facilities to patients who are dealing with disabilities, chronic illnesses, and non-acute health issues.
Non-emergency ambulances are fully equipped with wheelchair lifts or stretchers, to accommodate patients’ specific requirements.
· Non-urgent ambulance service: Non-urgent ambulance services are those that provide medical services to patients while traveling. Although patients’ condition is not too serious but they need quick care.
• Doctors also perform diagnostic tests, medical appointments, or outpatient procedures in these ambulances.
· Scheduled medical transportation:
Patients with recurrent medical appointments or therapies, go with scheduled medical transportation services. This assistance is prearranged and indulges transportation to cancer treatment amenities, dialysis centers, and physical therapy clinics.
Which role do nonemergency ambulance services play in the healthcare sector?
+ I may be not wrong if say that NEAS are the backbone of the health ecosystem that serves as a bridge between patients and medical amenities.
+ They keep patients’ health the priority and provide required care even when patients are unable to reach the hospital by themselves.
Reducing emergency room overcrowding
By giving service to non-acute patients, non-emergency ambulance service helps to overcome emergency room overcrowding and allows medical professionals to focus on critical cases.
Fostering continuity of care + NEAS ensures that patients can continue their care, attend follow-up appointments, access medical amenities, and receive ongoing treatment.
