Bell Helicopter, a Textron Inc. company (NYSE: TXT), announced its support for the Medevac Foundation’s HEMS 101 Project, which is dedicated to producing a set of guidelines for establishing Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS)/Air Ambulance Programs in nations that currently do not have services in place. Bell Helicopter will make a $150,000 donation spread equally over the next three years in support of the project and presented the first funding check at a special ceremony at Heli-Expo 2014 earlier today. The partnership will showcase the unique ability of helicopters to remove some of the barriers to accessible and timely care.
“过去60年来,贝尔直升机了define helicopter emergency medical services and have worked closely with operators around the world to ensure we provide the best aircraft solutions to meet patient and safety needs,” said Danny Maldonado, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Bell Helicopter. “At Bell Helicopter, we are on a mission to change the way the world flies through superior vertical lift that helps save lives. Our support of the Medevac Foundation is a natural extension of this mission by helping teach public and private sector leaders throughout the world more about the benefits of an EMS system that integrates helicopter transport into the larger healthcare system.”
AAMS/MEDEVAC International的总裁兼首席执行官Rick Sherlock说：“我们非常高兴有机会与贝尔直升机合作。”“该项目对于扩大国际下摆市场对世界各地患者的好处至关重要。”
HEMS 101项目是针对Medevac Foundation International和其他其他人进行的研究的响应，这些研究表明，由HEMS计划运输的重病或受伤的患者的生存机会更大，更完整的恢复和更好的长期持续时间与那些被拒绝获得护理或获得护理的访问权限的人相比，任期健康的结果被推迟了一段合理的时间。为每个国家量身定制的一般HEMS准则，将使HEMS提供者能够倡导在今天不存在的地区发展HEMS功能，以改善这些国家的医疗服务。这些准则还将有助于向公众展示存在哪种类型的系统，以及紧急情况下可能需要什么水平的护理。
“ HEMS 101”项目的四个目标包括：
1.教育多个受众（例如，国家立法者和监管机构，商业领袖，医疗保健和/或保险公司领导者以及公众）关于HEMS计划为社区做出的救生捐款，以及他们如何为他们提供的公民提供those communities a bridge to their nations’ health-care safety nets.
2.制定一组指南，以在没有这些服务的情况下建立直升机紧急医疗服务（HEMS）计划。
3.解释如何将HEMS计划与现有当地医院，诊所或当地紧急系统集成。
4.提供有关如何为其操作重新补偿HEMS计划的选项。
