About this course
A patient escort works one-on-one with the patients to manage their immediate needs. This will be freeing the medical staffs to treat others in their care. Patient Escorting duties include the transport of a patient from one unit or clinic or location to another. It also includes transfering
the patients from a wheelchair or stretcher to a bed and vice versa.
