title: Considerations in medical ground transportation.
abstract: Physicians and nurses, therapists and specialists, case managers and patients and families each form a piece of the health care puzzle. Each party plays a vital role in patient wellness, but if patients do not or cannot get to therapy, they cannot be expected to get better. Patient transportation is improving because case managers can ensure that they have proper transportation to get to appointments locally and out of town.
