Medical Courier Facts: How We Safely Transport Medical Materials

Posted on November 21, 2024

Being a medical courier involves more than just transporting items from Point A to Point B. Medical deliveries almost always include delicate equipment, biological samples, or confidential patient information, so you need a courier with the proper training. At Fleet Couriers, all our drivers receive training to ensure they are OSHA, HIPAA, and DOT-compliant. When you entrust us with your medical deliveries, you can rest assured we will transport them safely and securely.

 

We take the responsibility of being a medical courier very seriously. Here’s what we do to ensure all deliveries remain safe and secure.

 

Adhering to High Standards

The items we transport for our customers in the medical field contain sensitive information and are vital to patient care. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act—passed in 1996, better known as HIPAA—provides guidelines for healthcare workers and anyone handling patient information to keep it secure and confidential. We also train all our couriers to properly handle spills and what to do if they come into contact with blood or other substances. Every driver carries a spill kit in case of an emergency to limit contamination.

 

Establishing Delivery Routes

Many medical facilities require regular deliveries, including sending documents between departments, pharmacy deliveries, and transporting samples to and from labs. To ensure all departments and providers receive what they need when they need it, couriers establish regular delivery routes. Establishing these routes allows for a stable workflow and solidifies a reliable working relationship between the courier company and the medical facility.

 

Developing Working Relationships

Speaking of working relationships, our Fleet Couriers team has worked for decades to establish our reputation as a reliable and professional medical courier. We always adhere to medical guidelines and our own rigorous standards. By continuing our track record of excellence, we help our customers in the medical field care for their patients. With long-standing relationships with medical facilities, we can become even more efficient and develop more effective processes and practices.
