What is the primary purpose of the CareFlite Protocol?

The primary purpose of the CareFlite Protocol is to ensure the efficient and safe transport of patients by air or ground. This protocol is designed to standardize the procedures and guidelines that govern patient transport, which is critical for delivering timely medical care in emergencies. Ensuring safety and efficiency during transport directly impacts patient outcomes, as timely interventions can significantly influence the prognosis of critically ill or injured patients.

While training for healthcare providers, establishing hospital admission protocols, and managing emergency room operations are all essential aspects of healthcare delivery, they are not the central focus of the CareFlite Protocol. Instead, the protocol centers on the logistics and procedures necessary for transporting patients in a way that prioritizes their well-being, whether through air medical services or ground ambulance systems.
