The critical care transport community faces increasing pressures to operate safely in competitive and cost-conscious healthcare markets while providing excellence in patient care. A core belief driving the development of The Center for Medical Transport Research is that global connections formed to analyze the effectiveness, efficiency and equity in critical care transport systems can impact the quality and safety of patient care across various payer systems and diverse public policy environments. The Center will serve as a secure and neutral platform for scientific collaboration with resources for data management and research project development.
