Top 10 Medical Transportation Services Companies in Canada - 2023
Transport issues can have a costly downstream effect on health plans, healthcare providers, and patients. In the U.S., missed appointments cost $150 billion annually due to transportation access problems. Another study shows that about 3.6 million American adults miss or delay healthcare appointments because they lack transportation. Several lives are lost each year due to the lack of accessibility and awareness, combined with high costs.
With the latest cutting-edge technology and highly trained staff, modern-day transport vehicles can be true lifesavers. The latest technological innovations, including AI, Telemedicine, and IoT, revolutionize the medical transportation sector by providing more efficient, cost-effective, and patient-centric transportation options. A rise in alternative transportation options, including autonomous vehicles and ride-sharing services, will change how people access healthcare transportation services.
Autonomous vehicle technology provides an opportunity to improve medical transport efficiency and cost-effectiveness and could revolutionize how healthcare professionals and patients travel. Although the technology has yet to be fully implemented and tested in the medical transport industry, the potential cost savings are promising enough to warrant further research. Healthcare transportation services are a result of improving healthcare infrastructure worldwide.
This edition of Healthcare Business Review Canada delivers a bird’s eye view of the recent developments in the medical transportation service arena and insights into how organizations can align with these trends and adopt new ways to shape the future of healthcare services. We have curated thought leadership articles from industry experts, including Joseph Hart, Director, Patient Transport, Crothall Healthcare and Chris Thompson, Director of National Logistics, which appear in this edition.
