It’s About the Patient


BMF is a Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Services (CAMTS) accredited critical care transport service, and it’s the only dedicated, licensed, adult, ground critical transport provider in the region.


care


BMF responds to both scene and inter-facility


transport calls. Scene


calls make up less than 20% of overall transport volume, however the inter-facility transports are typically the


most seriously ill patients.


Because Massachusetts has such a comprehensive network of community hospitals, trauma patients are often ground transported to nearby community hospitals for initial evaluation before BMF is called to transport to a Level 1 trauma center. Approximately 25% of BMF transports are neonatal and pediatric patients.

THE BOSTON MEDFLIGHT VISION: OUR VISION IS TO BE A NATIONAL LEADER IN CRITICAL CARE TRANSPORT AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE FIELD.


The ground critical care transport program is an integral part of BMF’s bedside-to-bedside care.
