Researchers defined 19 key concepts for helicopter patient transport times and intervals. This standardized terminology improves communication and data accuracy in air medical services.

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Healthcare Operations
  • Aviation Management

Background:

  • Accurate timekeeping is crucial for efficient helicopter patient transport.
  • Existing terminology for air medical transport times lacks standardization.
  • Ambiguity in time-related terms can impact patient care and operational efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify, name, and define concepts for times and time intervals in helicopter patient transport.
  • To establish a standardized set of terms for air medical transport operations.
  • To improve clarity and consistency in reporting patient transport data.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive list of 206 potential terms was extracted from 96 patient records.
  • A five-round Delphi study was conducted via email with a purposive sample of experts.

  • Participants included nurses, physicians, paramedics, pilots, and communication specialists.

    • Main Results:

    • A consensus was reached on 19 distinct concepts.
    • Fifteen concepts represent specific times (e.g., Time of Call, Depart Base, Arrive Location).
    • Four concepts define time intervals (e.g., Ground Time, Transport Time).

    Conclusions:

    • The study successfully defined a standardized set of 19 concepts for helicopter patient transport.
    • These defined terms facilitate clearer communication and more accurate data collection in air medical services.
    • Standardized terminology is essential for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of patient transport by helicopter.
