Welcome to the LifeNet, Inc. Transport Guide

· This guide is used by LifeNet as a resource when deciding how to transport a patient from one facility to another (air or ground).

· When you call our dispatch center to request a transport you will be asked a series of questions. These questions are used to help us determine the best mode of transportation. Please be patient with us as we work through these questions.

Transport Guide Mission:

To ensure the patient receives the proper level of care while the patient is being transported between facilities.
