Attaching importance to the study of referral and transport of critically ill patients: my humble opinion on non-emergency medical referral and transporting service / 中华危重病急救医学

ABSTRACT

The transfer of critically ill patients is related to the treatment and prognosis of patients. It is not only the work of saving lives and injuries in the medical and health system, but also a measure of the ability and level of public health services in a region. "Non-emergency medical transshipment service" is a new form of business which is emerging at present. The phenomenon of "illegal ambulance" derived from it has attracted the attention of relevant government departments and has become the focus of media. The solution of this problem involves many aspects. The perspectives of defining the orientation of transfer work, constructing transfer service system, formulating transfer process norms and improving the quality of transfer efficiency are discussed in this paper, and it clearly puts forward that the development of "non-emergency medical transfer service" should adhere to the development path of marketization, diversification, standardization and specialization.
