Clinical condition
Recent stability, respiratory and cardiovascular function, neurological status, pain, risk of change during the journey.
OUR METHOD
THE RIGHT LEVEL OF CARE, BEFORE THE RIGHT MEANS OF TRANSPORT.
Every transfer begins with a clinical and logistical assessment. The aim is not to medicalise more than necessary, but to plan the level of support the patient genuinely needs.
- 01
Receive the situation
Known information is enough to open a request; missing details can be completed afterwards.
- 02
Complete the clinical information
When needed and with the required consent, information may be completed with the local treating team.
- 03
Assess journey constraints
Patient condition, suitability for transport, duration, environment, transitions and foreseeable needs.
- 04
Determine the team and transport mode
The transport mode and clinical team are determined after case review; patients and families are not asked to determine the solution themselves.
- 05
Coordinate transfer and handover
Preparation, ground connections, care in transit and handover to the receiving team according to the agreed plan.
LevOne Transfer Acuity Framework (LTAF)
A STRUCTURED ASSESSMENT FOR COMPLEX SITUATIONS
An internal framework that helps structure the assessment. It is neither a validated medical score nor an automated decision algorithm.
Care and monitoring
Oxygen, infusions, ongoing treatment, monitoring frequency, foreseeable nursing or medical interventions.
Journey environment
Total duration, transitions, cabin altitude, available space, airline or operator requirements.
Destination and fallback options
Confirmed receiving facility, handover, diversion or intermediate care options.
Clinical judgement and the requirements of the transfer remain decisive. No score alone selects the team.
