Led by a team of medical and aviation professionals from diverse health care backgrounds, Ornge provides greater access, safety and the highest possible level of care while transporting the most acutely ill or injured patients outside of the traditional “bricks and mortar” hospital. This experienced team forms the nucleus of Ornge Solutions.
No Bricks
Developed over the past 30 years, the Ornge Solutions professionals have acquired expertise in the foundations of building and designing a true Transport Medicine system including: medical deployment, standard operating procedures, accredited medical education, and safe, efficient aviation management.
Using a series of proven algorithms, the Ornge Solutions team can translate demand, distance and deployment into a comprehensive patient focused program of efficient and safe use of transportation assets throughout a client’s unique geography. Utilizing extensive experience with Rotor Wing, Fixed Wing, and Critical Care Interfacility Ambulances, Ornge Solutions professionals can define base organization and locations, operational deployment processes, algorithms for dispatch, and finally define and deploy appropriate levels of patient care.
Always placing patient care at the forefront of any system, Ornge Solutions professionals have the experience to develop and deploy a ‘virtual hospital’ anywhere it’s needed.
No Borders
Ornge’s Academy of Transport Medicine has developed a comprehensive education program, including the first critical care flight paramedic program accredited by the Canadian Medical Association (CMA). The Academy utilizes the latest in High Fidelity Simulation Technology in its programs.
Education programs are based on an innovative and flexible model that integrates many different types of learning into a single program. Students participate in classroom sessions, videoconferences, seminars, patient simulations, on-line learning and placements in hospitals and on air and land ambulances. Academic study is combined with clinical and preceptorship experience at every stage to balance theory and practice.
Ornge’s Academy provides excellence in education at any location.
No Boundaries
Transport medicine is about delivering specialized medical care in a mobile environment. It could be a fixed-wing (airplane) or rotor-wing (helicopter) aircraft, or land (critical care interfacility) transport. Transport medicine is the connective tissue for the hospital system – it links hospitals together enabling access to specialized care.
The men and women who work at Ornge embrace the values of compassion, collaboration and innovation. They are committed to advancing the frontiers of transport medicine.
