Results: The results showed that the following factors significantly influence the total inter-hospital transfer time: Ambulance crew (β=10.525, p=.001) and patient and carer (β=37.606, p<.001) when setting a doctor (selecting a medical institution) as a criterion; availability of the specialized care (β=12.435, p=.008) when setting the near distance (reason for selecting a hospital for transfer) as a criterion. The explanatory power of this analysis was R2=0.423, whereas the explanatory power of calibration was R2=0.411.
