With a general discharge, all that is needed is coordination with the StatFlight American services, the sending facility and the family. With a discharge to a an equal facility or to a step-down facility, additional steps are required. The doctor at the sending facility needs to speak to a doctor at the receiving facility. The receiving doctor accepts responsibility for the patient and calls admissions at the receiving facility to get a bed assignment. Admissions will take responsibility for the patient and will accept the patient. Sometimes there is difficulty in trying to get the doctors to communicate in a timely fashion. But what we can do a lot to assist in that, to coordinate and facilitate having them to speak to each other. If the sending facility will not discharge the patient, we can transport them AMA. However, it is imperative in that situation that a receiving doctor and facility accept the patient prior to the transport.

We require a runway length of 5,000 feet. If the runway is shorter than 5000 feet, we can sometimes land Sky Flight escorts there in one of our slower aircraft like a prop aircraft; that way we’d be able to get into that airport. Sometimes the time saved going into the smaller airport more than makes up for the added ground time when going into the larger airport.
For a facility to accept the patient and assign him a bed, a receiving doctor typically has to call admissions. First a facility must be chosen. If you need help in doing that, we can assist. If you have determined which facility you want to bring the patient to, the next step is to determine who will be the receiving doctor. If you have a primary physician that practices there, have her call the facility and ask for admissions. If you need help in getting a physician, we can help you. Admissions will assign a doctor if a little bit is known about the Mercy transport planes patient.
