"Canada’s northern territories are characterized by small, scattered populations separated by long distances. A major challenge to healthcare delivery is the reliance on costly patient transportation, especially emergency air evacuations (medevacs). The purpose of this study was to describe the patterns, costs and providers’ perspectives on patient transportation, and identify potential factors associated with utilization and performance. Secondary analyses of medical travel databases and an online survey of nurses in the communities and physicians in regional centers were undertaken." (as cited in abstract)
