Properly Securement
Because safety is our number one priority, all loaded wheelchairs are secured with four points of contact along with either a lap belt and/or a shoulder harness that connects and secures to a lap belt. Even if a patient remains in their own power chair with a serviceable lap belt, a company lap belt must also be used and properly secured.
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation Personnel Training & Development
Understanding that our staff is our single greatest asset, Midwest Transport Services is dedicated to effective recruitment, retention, training, development, and promotion of competent, reliable, and professional personnel.
Our driver evaluation and training programs are compliant with all laws and standards required by the states of Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana and are designed to ensure safety, competence and reliability. Each applicant is required to pass a physical, random drug and alcohol screening, and a background check.
Upon hiring, all drivers are subject to driver-in-training instruction to be conducted by senior drivers and overseen by senior management. The duration of such instruction will last between several weeks to months depending on a driver’s level of experience and their learning abilities.
With safety being the focal point of our training program, all drivers are required to perform a behind-the-wheel road test. Drivers are evaluated on judgment of vision, memory, reaction time, physical function, and cognition. In addition to effective vehicle operation, drivers receive an abundance of equipment training to include proper use of wheelchairs, hydraulic lifts, and securing devices. Drivers are trained on how to properly load, secure, and unload ambulatory and wheelchair patients to ensure patient safety during the non-emergency medical transportation process.
Beyond the physical aspects of their job-related tasks, drivers are instructed on proper interpersonal skills to include effectively interacting and accommodating the needs of our aging clientele. Underscored by the need for privacy and confidentiality, drivers are educated on all HIPAA rules and regulations in addition to facility-specific policies and procedures. Various annual and semi-annual re-certifications are required for all drivers in addition to random drug and alcohol testing.
Midwest Transport Services takes pride in properly training drivers to care for all our passengers.
