Thanks to a new executive order from the governor, and a waiver from the NJ Department of Health, Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs), are now allowed to aid in medical transportation in New Jersey due in part to recent changes in demand in the field due to COVID-19. 

The earlier standard required two Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) staff members in an ambulance while transporting patients --- one as the driver and one rendering care. The current standard allows one EMT and one EMR to staff an ambulance. 

However, when we learned the temporary waiver by the Department of Health did not require someone to have an EMR certification to drive an ambulance, we opened a career opportunity as an Ambulance Vehicle Operator (AVO). An AVO is a job title specific to On Time Ambulance and we cover all necessary training.

Now more than ever, becoming an Ambulance Vehicle Operator (AVO) is a great way for individuals to enter the EMS field and grow within the healthcare industry. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions answered about the newest EMS role in New Jersey, the differences between an EMT, and how to get started today.

Whether by van, sedan, or ambulance --- safety in medical transportation is critical. No one wants to get hurt on the job, be out of work, and lose weeks of pay due to a back injury. 

We don't need to tell you how complicated things can get when you're injured, can't work, and you have kids at home. It causes major disruptions for families and organizations.

No bueno!

That's why taking effective safety measures in the medical transportation injury is vital to your health, well-being and long term success as an ambulance driver or EMT.

Not to mention the health of your patients and the health of your organization.

Without further ado here are 10 safety mantras that you can start using today:

Is your senior care facility getting the transportation services that it deserves? Is the medical bus/shuttle/van company doing all that it should to ensure that safety is the top priority, and that your population is 100% satisfied? Arm yourself with the questions to ask to make sure that you and your clients are in the right hands.

It's been a year and a half since Prior Authorization went into effect here in New Jersey. There have been some unintended consequences, but for the most part it seems that the program has been successful. As one of the state's largest ambulance and medical transportation companies, we have gained plenty of experience in complying with these new regulations.

To assist our various partners, we've put together a list of explanations and key terms that health care workers can use to increase chances of approval. This list is by no means exhaustive, but we think it's a good start. If you have questions that are more in-depth or specific to your organization, we'd be happy to schedule a compliance consultation visit.

When they can’t drive, getting Mom, Dad, Grandma or Grandpa to the doctor and other medical appointments can be challenging. They can’t afford to miss a key appointment, but you aren’t able to drop everything to give them a ride and accompany them each time.

It can seem like there are few places to turn --- but there are actually plenty of options.

To some this list may seem like common sense. But we're often surprised at how many people don’t know of the services and solutions available. Without further ado, here are ten ways to get a senior to his or her doctor’s appointment.
