Disabled individuals, people suffering from debilitating medical conditions, and the elderly rely on non-emergency medical transportation companies (NEMT) to transport them from their homes to hospitals, doctors’ offices, dialysis clinics, and other outpatient care centers. Some of these individuals are required to attend several appointments every week. Medical transportation services use specially designed vehicles equipped with secure seating, wheelchair lifts, and other modifications. Unfortunately, far too many passengers suffer serious injuries during transportation. Properly securing patients inside the vehicle is very important; however, injuries often result from negligent transport services or caregivers improperly restraining them. Consequently, one of the primary causes of non-emergency medical transportation-related injuries is the jostling of patients.

While transporting an elderly nursing home resident back to her residence from a dialysis center, an ambulette driver slammed on his brakes. This caused the resident to be thrown from her wheelchair and die approximately one month later from complications. The driver later admitted that he failed to buckle the resident’s seatbelt. Sadly, this resident’s wrongful death could have easily been avoided by following the most basic safety precautions.

Characteristics of a Safe Medical Transport Service

Suppose you or a loved one are struggling with mobility problems or debilitating health conditions. In that case, you may not be able to get behind the wheel or find someone to drive you to vital medical appointments. Instead, you may consider hiring an ambulette service or a different specially designed medical transportation company to drive you around. Our elite team understands that everyone has unique needs depending on their particular medical conditions. Depending on your requirements, choosing a transportation company that matches your needs can be a time-consuming task. Our compassionate team has listed crucial tips to help you select the right carrier, including:

• Choose an Accredited Service: One of the easiest methods to create a shortlist of possible services is to only select an accredited company. Also, be sure to check Google reviews for five-star ratings and positive comments. This will give you an accurate idea of the level of services offered.
• Look for Specialized Caregivers: Ambulette drivers and caretakers are directly accountable for the comfort and safety of all passengers. Transportation companies should conduct thorough background checks to vet all personnel. Additionally, staff must be adequately trained and certified in first aid and patient care.
• Fully Equipped Ambulettes: Long drives can become very exhausting for patients. Transportation services use various types of vehicles to match the needs of clients. Ask if the company has a vehicle that is appropriate for your needs. At a minimum, vehicles should contain proper restraint systems, be organized, and be fully equipped with all of the items essential to move patients in and out.
• Passenger Safety: It is decisive to always select a service that makes you feel safe and secure. Quality transportation companies always pride themselves on passenger safety. A trustworthy service provider should not have issues sharing details about company hiring practices, caretaker training, safety procedures, and prior accidents.
