Patient Assistance Transport Scheme (PATS). The South Australian Patient Assistance Transport Scheme (PATS) provides some financial reimbursement to country patients and approved escorts with the cost of travel and accommodation when they are required to travel over 100 kilometres (each way) to receive specialist medical treatment that is not available at their nearest centre.
Patient Journey Health Information Resources from Country Health South Australia (CHSA):
· ‘Before You Travel’ – a checklist for people from country SA preparing to travel for medical treatment; includes suggested questions to ask the referring GP / doctor; and
· ‘Contacts for when you travel to access health services’ – a directory of commonly required contacts for people from country SA travelling regionally or to metropolitan Adelaide for medical treatment.
The CHSA Patient Journey Health Information Resources aim to:
· Reduce the number of people from country SA travelling to metropolitan Adelaide for health services by providing a prompt to discuss local / regional options, particularly when journey is GP initiated;
· Provide practical support in a clear format to people from country SA who require access to health services in metropolitan Adelaide.
Arrangements are being made to make this literature available on the Patient Journey Initiative page on the CHSA Web-site (July 2010)
