Inter-facility patient transport must be documented on an approved patient care record (PCR). JTS-approved PCRs include:
The DA Form 4700 is primarily used for rotary wing transport from POI or inter-facility transfer. The AF IMT 3899 is primarily used for AE, with supplements A through K as indicated for Critical Care Air Transport Team movements. The Rescue Report SAR Form 3-50.1/1 contained within NTTP 3-50.1, Navy Search and Rescue Manual, is required whenever a search or rescue is attempted or accomplished that involves Navy personnel or assets. Completed Rescue Reports must be submitted to the Navy Chief of Naval Operations Search and Rescue Model Manager’s office.
When completing the PCR, ensure the patient’s name on the PCR matches the name entered on arrival to the MTF. In cases where a casualty’s name is unknown, the MTF will utilize theater-predetermined trauma identities. Transport teams must obtain an ID sticker at the time of handover to the MTF to ensure the correct identity is recorded on the PCR.
The PCR should be completed and delivered to the receiving MTF along with the patient. Completed PCRs and After Action Reviews should be encrypted and submitted to JTS Patient Evacuation at the following email address: dha.jbsa.healthcare-ops.list.jts-patient-evacuationl@health.mil. If unable to encrypt, documentation may be sent encrypted utilizing DoD Secure Access File Exchange. A follow-up email with the “Passphrase” for encryption will have to be sent separately to the JTS Patient Evacuation email to allow for download of the file(s).
