Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rapid transport methods, such as helicopters, allow trauma patients to be quickly transported to hospitals with advanced trauma care capabilities, increasing their chances of survival. While better trained physicians and more support staff at hospitals are also important factors in decreasing mortality rates, they are not directly related to the transportation of patients. Multiple locations of clinics are also not as directly related to decreasing mortality rates as rapid transport methods.
