Lifenet Risk Assessment

[Warthog1]

When a Lifenet helicopter reports back upon leaving the scene with a patient, they report a 'risk assessment'. Ususlly it's Bravo, but I have heard Alpha and Charlie.
Does anyone have a list of these risk assessment codes that they would post ?

Thank you

They may be using this commonly used EMS format.
Rich

Alpha - Non-emergency

Bravo - Least serious emergency

Charlie - Possibly life threatening

Delta - Life threatening

Echo - Full Arrest

I would agree that it is some type of patient status code, but I sure hope it is different from the regular EMD codes, because Alpha and Bravo are BLS only responses, if people are flying out BLS calls, there is a real problem

It has to do with risk to flight, not the patient.
