A Patient Transport Team for Walter Reed Army Medical Center: Design Recommendation
2006
Neft, Michael W.
Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) is the world's largest military, tertiary healthcare treatment facility. Due to its broad patient care mission, the organization requires patients and material to be transported frequently. Since 1990, WRAMC's transport needs have been examined twice. Some transport problems have been resolved because of these analyses. However a comprehensive plan for a Patient Transport Team (PTT) has not been developed. This Graduate Management Project (GMP) designs a PTT to meet the needs of WRAMC's stakeholders. The techniques utilized in this GMP were personal interview, literature review, and site visit to existing PTTs. This PTT design includes areas such as staffing, equipment, education, communication, and scope of service. These five aspects of a PTT are interactive. The PTT for WRAMC discussed herein includes these components in a framework that has centralized and decentralized aspects. Patient transport team, Patient transport.
