FlyPHI is an app that supports PHI Air Medical partners to electronically request a helicopter, sending the app user’s information and GPS location to deploy the PHI aircraft to the scene or hospital for safe and high-quality clinical transport. Accurate and fast with real-time tracking, the app creates a simplified process for dispatch and a cohesive tool for improved communication and record keeping. When first responders submit a request, the user will see the steps taken by the PHI Air Medical communication center to evaluate the request and then assign an aircraft to the request. Once the helicopter is on its way, the user will be able to track the aircraft in real-time with a map feature. In a hospital environment, the user logs into the FlyPHI app (web or device) to make a request and complete a form before confirming the flight. When the aircraft is on its way, the user will be able to track it in real time with a map feature. Request a flight with the push of a button – PHI Air Medical is there for you.

About

Minson's Guide To Hospitals

Read full description

We hope it never happens, but for most of us there will come a time when we need to be in the hospital. We trust that our doctor or healthcare provider knows the system and which hospitals are best for us, but to borrow a concept from the Declaration of Independence, when it comes to certain types of care, not all hospitals are created equal. This is particularly true when it comes to care related to children (pediatric care), burn care, trauma care, cardiac care and stroke care. Yet there has never been a single accessible database in an app with that information at your fingertips. Whether you or a loved one are in a specialty care hospital and wondering if it is credentialed for your/their specialty need, or if you are moving to a new area, or planning for travel, or have a newly diagnosed heart or stroke condition, or a new baby, knowing the nearest specialty facilities can save you from heartache, and uncertainty. Friendly reminder! You must purchase a subscription before using the app. Choose purchase options to see subscriptions.
