traffic, weather conditions, or other factors that may influence transport time in identifying the most accessible facility. final authority for patient destination rests with the
base hospital handling the call
EMT personnel may honor patient requests to be transported to other than the MAR provided that the patient is deemed
stable, requires basic life support measures only, and the ambulance is not unreasonably removed from its primary area of response. In order to facilitate this, EMT personnel may transfer care of a patient to another EMT team if necessary.
In life-threatening situations (e.g., unmanageable airway or uncontrollable hemorrhage) in which the estimated time of arrival (ETA) of the paramedics exceeds the ETA to the MAR, EMTs should
exercise their clinical judgment as to whether it is in the patient's best interest to be transported prior to the arrival of paramedics.
