Learning styles a. Visual - The visual learner takes mental


pictures of information given, so in order for
this kind of learner to retain information,
oral or written, presentations of new
information must contain diagrams and
drawings, preferably in color. The visual
learner can't concentrate with a lot of
activity around him and will focus better
and learn faster in a quiet study
environment.
b. Kinesthetic - described as the students in
the classroom, who have problems sitting
still and who often bounce their legs while
tapping their fingers on the desks. They are
often referred to as hyperactive students
with concentration issues.
c. Auditory- a learner who has the ability to
remember speeches and lectures in detail
but has a hard time with written text.
Having to read long texts is pointless and
will not be retained by the auditory learner
unless it is read aloud.
d. Reading/ Writing Learners- learners who
work best in the reading / writing modality
demonstrate a srtong learning preference
for written word. This includes both written
information presented in class in the form of
handouts and powerpoint slide
presentations as well as the oppprtunity to
synthesize course content in the completion
of writeen assignments. This modality also
lends itself to conducting research online,
as many information-rich sources on the
internet are relatively text-heavy.
e. Activist – Leans by having an experience or
needs to do.

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:

2. Drive an ambulance while responding to, or at emergency operations
going to facility

Introduction

This competency information sheet for Transporting patient safety includes


systematic, safe, and efficient control of all vehicle functions, as well as
effective management of hazardous situations under operational conditions,
particularly when responding to Emergency and Non-Emergency cases and
operating on urban or rural roads, as well as land and air ambulance.

What is patient transport?


Patient transporters are essential in assisting hospitals to care for patients
and operate efficiently. Because hospitals transport many patients
throughout their facilities daily.

The Role of Patient Transporter:


1. Assisting patients in and out of cars, taxis, and other vehicles.
2. Carefully lifting patients from their beds and placing them into wheelchairs
or moveable beds.
3. Moving patients to different areas of the hospital, such as operating
rooms, treatment areas, and special service departments.
4. Transporting supplies, laboratory specimens, and equipment to
designated areas of the medical facility.
5. Transporting deceased patients to the appropriate area, such as the
mortuary.
6. Providing patients and their families with compassion and care.
Demonstrating cultural and social tolerance and acceptance is crucial.
7. Following protocol to maintain a safe and healthy work environment for
fellow associates and patients.
8. Having a willingness to expand their knowledge and training through
continued education.

The Importance of a Quality Patient Transport System

Patient Transport System, in addition to providing quality transportation


services to patients, helps give hospital staff more time in their workday to
do what they do best. Nurses, for example, can concentrate on patient
treatment plans rather than the logistics of moving their patients. As a
patient transporter, you are responsible for ensuring that patients arrive at
their destination comfortably and safely.

The Quality of a Good Patient Transporter

Patient transporters must ensure that every patient they serve receives
quality care. So, what characteristics characterize a good patient
transporter? Patient transporters should be high-energy, polite, and friendly,
in addition to following patient transportation best practices that we teach on
the job. We understand that a patient's experience encompasses far more
than the clinical care they receive. Patients must have the impression that all
hospital personnel, both clinical and non-clinical, are concerned about their
well-being.

Top Qualities Needed to be a Patient Transporter

Patient transporters must also be meticulous. Examining a patient's


equipment, for example, before transporting them to a different location to
ensure the trip, regardless of distance, is safe. Paying attention to detail can
aid in the prevention of accidents and other unpleasant situations.

To ensure that our associates feel empowered and that our patients receive
the best transportation services, we put all patient transporters through
extensive training. If you want to be a patient transporter, here's what we
look for in candidates:

Acceptance: Our patient transporters recognize that patients come from a


variety of backgrounds and cultures. We make certain that they treat
everyone and their families with the utmost respect.

Attention to detail: It is critical to pay attention to every detail when


moving patients. Before transporting a patient to a new location, our staff
performs numerous checks and balances.

Esteban Authority
Customer service: Every patient should feel cared for and valued when
they interact with members of our team. We train all of our associates in
customer service and prefer candidates who already have a strong
understanding of what good customer service entails.
Friendly Personality: Patient transporters are popular among patients due
to their friendly and caring personalities. We seek individuals who can
brighten a room and bring joy to any situation.

Physical fitness: A patient transporter must be physically fit in order to


safely lift and lower patients. During their lifts, our associates must use
proper form.
Types of Vehicles

An emergency services used to


transport patients with traumatic or
medical conditions, or patients for
whom the need for specialty care,
emergency, or non-emergency
medical care is anticipated either
at the patient location or during
transport, is referred to as a
ground ambulance.

Air ambulances, like traditional


ground ambulances, are usually
helicopters outfitted with medical
equipment and staffed by medical
professionals.

Proper Flow of Dispatching

A civilized society's backbone is its emergency services. A single emergency


phone number is used to contact police, fire, and ambulance services. In The
Republic of the Philippines, that single number is 911. In other countries,
there may be a different or multiple unique numbers. The number is 112 in
the European Union, 999 in others, and so on. A person at a Public Service
Access Point, or PSAP, which is usually a governmental agency/service near
the location of the emergency, answers the call and dispatches First
Responders as needed two (2) way radio a mobile phone and wireless
carriers have developed methods for connecting voice to the appropriate
PSAP and providing accurate location data required for dispatch. The

Monitoring Patient

Risk reduction begins with attendants and equipment monitoring the patient
during transport. Quicker transport times and specialized transport teams
are associated with better outcomes, whereas illness severity is a predictor
of unfavorable complications. Monitoring during transportation varies greatly
depending on the environment, the skill of the attendants, and the severity
of the patient's illness. There are standards for patient monitoring during
transport, but they are mostly based on expert opinion. This paper examines
transportation guidelines and risks as a template for required monitoring, as
well as common transportation mishaps and how they can be avoided with
proper monitoring.

ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER
No. 2017"/Jl: :lo 18- 000 I

SUBJECT: Revised Rules and Regulations Governing the Licensure of Land

Ambulances and Ambulance Service Providers

I. BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE


On July 12,2016, the Department of Health (DOH) through the Health
Facilities and Services Regulatory Bureau (formerly Bureau of Health
Facilities and Services) published Administrative Order (A.O.) No. 2016-0029
titled "Rules and Regulations Governing the Licensure of Ambulances and
Ambulance Service Providers" dated June 29, 2016. The A.O. was drafted in
line with Section VI. A. 4. of A.O. No. 2010- 0003 titled "National Policy on
Ambulance Use and Services" which stated that the "Bureau of Health
Facilities and Services shall establish licensing standards for ambulance
services and ensures their implementation through regulation. The license of
hospital-based ambulance service shall be part of the hospital license. All
other ambulance services shall require a separate license" The policy was
envisioned to remedy the issue on the misuse of ambulance vehicles and the
mislabeling of other vehicles as ambulances in the country. Moreover, it
seeks to establish that ambulances operate with competent personnel and
appropriate equipment in order to respond to medical emergencies, provide
quality care and ensure patient safety. However, in consideration of the
plight of stakeholders who could not readily comply with the standards and
requirements prescribed in the policy, the DOH decided to issue out
Department Circular (D.C.) No. 2016-0357 titled Extension of Moratorium
Period for Compliance for All Ambulance and Ambulance Service Providers.
The D.C. provided a moratorium for all ambulance service providers to
comply until December 31, 201 7 while the A.O. underwent policy review.
After the conduct of several consultative meetings with stakeholders and
considering the context in which ambulance service providers currently
operate, this Order hereby provides the revised mandatory minimum
standards and requirements for the licensure of land ambulances and
ambulance service providers.
