How Communication and Co-operation Eased a Patient Transport Crisis

Ann Toman and Perry Ferguson

Abstract

It is not an overstatement to suggest that in 2000, a crisis was looming in the Ontario healthcare system with regard to patient transportation. Provincial government budget cuts and downloading of ambulance service responsibilities from the provincial health ministry to municipal governments has pushed patient transportation to the forefront as a major issue for municipalities across Ontario.
