When
moments count…
count on Airlift Northwest
Within moments of receiving an emergency
call, an Airlift Northwest team is on the way. While the
flight crew prepares for takeoff, the Airlift Northwest 24-Hour ComCenter sets in motion
a coordinated emergency response network by:
- Alerting our aviation partners to determine if
a flight can be made based on weather and other aviation
factors;
- Communicating directly with requesting agencies;
- Collecting and relaying patient information;
- Providing estimated time of arrival (ETA) updates to
all involved in the transport procedure; and
- Arranging for ground transportation, if required.
At the emergency site or hospital — and
for the duration of the flight — Airlift Northwest
nurses provide critical patient care and convey updated patient
information to the staff of the receiving hospital.
If additional ground transportation is
required, Airlift Northwest nurses remain with the patient
enroute to the receiving hospital.
