Purpose:
To establish a standardized method for creating and managing transport routes for patients eligible for transport sponsorship. This ensures that each patient receives an accurate and fair calculation of transport funds based on their specific travel needs.
Key Terms:
Transport Leg- A transport leg refers to a specific segment of a journey within a transportation route. Each leg has its own origin, destination, and cost. For example, if a bus travels from Point A to Point D with stops at Points B and C, the journey can be divided into multiple legs.
