A key component of our customer’s positive experience relies on a consistent survey process executed by expert surveyors, with experience in a variety of medical transport specialties.

We support you with a robust, patient-centric survey which is anchored to data and measurability:

• The SAFER^™ Matrix  identifies and helps prioritize performance improvement efforts on areas with the highest risk of potential adverse outcomes.
