Patient transportation refers to the process of moving patients from one location to another within a healthcare facility or to an external facility. This can include transferring patients from their hospital room to diagnostic areas, such as radiology or laboratory, or transporting them to other healthcare facilities for specialized care. Proper transportation is essential for ensuring patient safety and comfort during the transfer. Transportation can be carried out using various methods, including wheelchairs, stretchers, or ambulances. Trained personnel, such as nurses or emergency medical technicians (EMTs), are often responsible for safely moving patients. They ensure that patients are stable and monitor their condition throughout the journey to provide immediate assistance if needed.
