When a patient needs a healthcare service, their primary aim is to recover quickly and return home as soon as possible. But what if the care they need requires visiting a faraway hospital? Before, this would be tricky and stressful. But now, it’s becoming easily accessible for patients. RT Medical has announced its patient transfer service, changing how patients travel. This service simplifies the intricate process of moving patients from one facility to another. They serve the different needs of patients with a stress-free and safe experience during transfer to and from home, hospitals, or any destination of their choice.
RT Medical’s patient transfer service allows patients to choose between their own vehicle or the caregiver’s vehicle. They can also opt for a companion to support them if they choose public transportation. This personalized approach of RT Medical helps make the transfer experience as comfortable and convenient as possible.
Apart from this, patients can avail their comprehensive Care Plan. It provides a Caregiver or Personal Support Worker for a minimum shift duration of 4 hours. You can schedule this service daily, weekly, or monthly at your convenience. Bookings can be made with a notice of 24-48 hours, which ensures timely and coordinated transfers.
