Who will notify you of special administrative requirements your patients may require for the flight?

• A. The Attending Physician
• B. The Receiving Physician
• C. Patient Movement Center
• D. Medical Readiness Office

Answer: (C)

The central idea is that arranging patient air transport relies on a dedicated hub that handles all the administrative pieces before a flight. The Patient Movement Center is that focal point for patient movement operations, coordinating details about each patient’s transport and flagging any Special Administrative Requirements that must be met before flight. They will alert you to SARs, such as necessary documentation, equipment needs, medical clearances, and any travel or security rules, so the flight can be scheduled and executed smoothly and safely. The attending physician focuses on the clinical status of the patient, the receiving physician handles care at the destination, and the Medical Readiness Office deals with overall readiness issues—none of these are primarily responsible for coordinating and notifying SARs for flight, which is why the Patient Movement Center is the best answer.
