Shape your future
Do you want more Flight Requests or not?
we will help you
With the Six-Stage Outreach Sequence
Have you fully systematized your six-stage Outreach sequence to increase the selectivity and volume of your medically necessary and appropriate flights? Do you have each of the six Outreach stages operating at high performance levels? We can help you - if you truly desire to be helped and are willing to commit to the work required. We've done it time and time again for more than 26 years. The six-stage Outreach sequence works, if it is applied correctly and relentlessly.
WHY choose us
Our Outreach Competencies
Outreach Operating Systems Architecture
To effectively and consistently stimulate sufficient flight requests there are 10 Essential Outreach Operating System Elements required. We invented the architecture for Air Medical Transport. It works.
Flight Request Stimulator / Outreach Training
We offer CIL (Continuous Impact Learning) that synchronizes on-line and place-based OutreachU and Flight Request Stimulator training for employees in every function. This is necessary for your success. It works.
Outreach Mentoring & Advising Wisdom
With our lead Outreach advisors and educators having been involved in Air Medical Transport, EMS and hospital systems for more than 46 years (each) throughout our nation and abroad, we have the wisdom and experience to advise, mentor, problem-solve and innovate. It works.

FIRST PRINCIPLES First Principles is a concept often used in philosophy, science, and problem-solving. It refers to breaking down complex ideas or systems into their most basic, foundational truths and then reasoning up from there to build new knowledge or solve problems. The idea is commonly attributed to Aristotle, who described first principles as the "first basis from which a thing is known."
Key Aspects of First Principles:1. Fundamental Building Blocks:o These are the most basic assumptions or facts that cannot be deduced from any other premise.o Everything else in the system is built upon these foundational truths.2. Reductionist Approach:o To apply first principles thinking, a problem or concept is deconstructed into its simplest components, stripping away assumptions, analogies, or inherited ways of thinking.3. Innovative Applications:o By understanding and rethinking from the ground up, first principles allow individuals to innovate rather than rely on traditional methods or "best practices."Examples of First Principles Thinking:1. Elon Musk:o Musk uses this approach in business and technology. For instance, in developing SpaceX rockets, he analyzed the raw materials needed to build rockets instead of buying pre-made systems, drastically reducing costs.2. Scientific Method:o In science, the method starts with self-evident truths or experimentally proven axioms (e.g., laws of physics).3. Philosophy and Logic:o René Descartes' famous statement, "I think, therefore I am," is an example of deducing knowledge from an undeniable first principle.Benefits of First Principles Thinking:• Encourages creativity and innovation by bypassing traditional constraints.• Helps solve complex problems by addressing root causes rather than symptoms.• Facilitates better decision-making by grounding strategies in fundamental truths.Steps to Apply First Principles:1. Identify the Problem:o Clearly define what you are trying to understand or solve.2. Deconstruct Assumptions:o Question everything and break the problem into its most basic elements.3. Build New Solutions:o Use the foundational truths to create or reassemble innovative solutions.This approach can be transformative in fields ranging from engineering, entrepreneurship, and Outreach to personal problem-solving and learning.
