As violence in Philadelphia continues at a high rate, “scoop-and-run” hospital transports—when a responding police officer takes a gunshot or stabbing victim to a trauma center as quickly as possible—have become a time-tested means for delivering patients to life-saving treatment. Twice as many patients are now brought to trauma centers by police, with survival rates comparable to those transported by EMS professionals, according to a new study from researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania who examined five years of data. These findings were published today in JAMA Network Open.
