What is the difference between an emergent and non-emergent transport?
The basic difference is whether the reason for the transport is “life-threatening” or not. Motor vehicle accidents, heart attacks, strokes, gun shots, or any potential life threat are reasons for an emergent transport. Examples of non-emergent transports include transportation from any non 911 initiated call to the hospital for a minor illness or injury Also, most hospital to hospital transports are considered non-emergent.
