Transportation of Patients

• The Primary Concern of our EMS System is to
  assure the safe arrival of the patient, in the
  least amount of time, to the most appropriate
  care center.
• Priority of the patient determines destination
• Priority 1 - life or limb threatening
• Priority 2 - urgent condition / may deteriorate
  rapidly
• Priority 3 - stable / hospitalization not expected
