Harvest team transports

There are occasions where an ALS or BLS unit will be asked to transport members of an organ harvest team. The following guidelines should be followed:

Patient Information should contain Last Name "Team," First Name "Harvest"

Insurance shoud contain Harvest Team Transport which would populate the address in the insurance section.

Harvest Team transports receive a unique identifier of 6 characters (alpha & numeric); this needs to be added in the insurance information and becomes the policy number. This is for all Harvest Team transports to and from the airport. The team should have this identifier.
