Medical transport is necessary when a medical situation cannot be handled where the patient is located. Motor vehicle accidents, fires and transportation between medical facilities are just a few of the instances in which critical care services in NJ are needed.
Emergency and Non-Emergency Transport
Assisted care facilities in Hackensack and surrounding areas are often recipients of critical care services in NJ. Patients in wheelchairs or with limited mobility may need transportation from the hospital to their home or doctor’s office. Though not an emergency, a regular vehicle may not accommodate their wheelchair, and the family member driving may not be trained in assisting a handicapped person in and out of the car.
The ability to offer medical attention while en route makes this service valuable to many patients. Helping someone who has just received outpatient surgery get home saves time and cost of staying overnight in the hospital. Patients in skilled nursing facilities can be taken from their SNF unit to have tests done and returned safely. A stroke or heart attack are examples of emergency situations where critical care transportation is needed.

Each patient has their own needs when it comes to medical transport. The transport team will adjust each person’s treatment based on age, diagnosis and/or reason for transport, and medical history when related to the present condition.
