There are many companies working for Chicago Courier that offer medical delivery services as part of their total service package. Medical courier companies are an important part of the overall healthcare industry. These are specially licensed couriers who have the proper vehicles and training to transport medical supplies. Typically, these types of deliveries proceed according to normal hours, similar to how the rest of the courier industry works. However, there is also another type of medical messaging service, known as STAT delivery.
STAT is also often referred to as an emergency messaging service. However, typically, the term emergency courier service is used to describe these types of deliveries when they are made in the corporate or corporate world. A STAT release means the same thing, but also specifies that the release in question is one that involves the medical industry.
STAT is a term often used in hospitals to indicate that something needs to be done as quickly as possible. Many medical terms are derived from Latin roots, and STAT is no different. The original word on which the term is based is “statim”. This means immediately in the original Latin. Anything that is required of STAT is given the highest possible priority, and the same thinking applies to STAT delivery services moving medical supplies.
Generally, a STAT delivery is one that is required quickly because the treatment depends on the delivery being completed quickly. This would be in situations such as when an organ needs to be shipped for delivery to a transplant patient. In addition, the STAT service is sometimes used to move medical materials to disaster or emergency sites when treatment is required on site.
The STAT service can be completed by land or air transportation. In many cases, air transport will be used because it is much faster than making deliveries by land. Typically, the air vehicle to be used for medical deliveries is the helicopter. Helicopters can take off with less notice than airplanes and are not required to land and take off from large airports. Many large hospitals include landing facilities in place so that cargo can be delivered and patients get airborne. Ground transportation will continue to be used in some situations, such as when it is only necessary to make a STAT delivery between two hospitals in the same city. The option used will always be the one that results in the fastest deliveries.
