Overview

Mission

Temple Transport Team serves as one component of TUHS's integrated health care delivery system. The mission of Temple Transport Team is to provide a flexible and all encompassing transport program coordinated via the comprehensive communications center (dispatch and transfer center services).

What it reported doing in 2024

The Temple Transport Team Comprehensive Communications Center was launched in February 2011 combining the functions of both T3 dispatch and Temple University Hospital Transfer Center into a unified command center. The Communications Center provides both inbound and outbound services to the affiliates. The focus of the Communications Center is to facilitate the timely communication between community physicians and Temple physicians leading to the transfer/transport of high acuity patients.

Operating model

Revenue model
Affiliate-supported. 65% of the money available for current operations came from contributions from related organizations.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and a relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
