Title
Example: Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Air-to-Ground (Air-Ground) Patient Handoff
Subject
Description
This resource was originally commissioned and published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This document provides guidance to facilitate planning for and execution of patient handoff between an air ambulance agency and a ground ambulance agency. This may occur when an air ambulance agency transfers the patient to a ground ambulance agency or when a ground ambulance agency transfers a patient to an air ambulance agency. This SOP is focused on fixed-wing transport and not rotor-wing. It does not address broader air and ground ambulance SOPs. Information is presented at a level of detail that will afford local planners and operators the flexibility to develop procedures that are suitable for their environment.
