How to Transfer a Patient

  1. Fill out the transfer form in HMED
  2. Get an accepting doctor if this is an ED to ED transfer.
  3. If another service is involved and it is applicable, have them contact their counterparts at the other hospital and get an accepting in-patient attending.
  4. Add these names to the form and print it. Have the your ED attending sign the form.
  5. Give the form to the clerk up front and if we are arranging the ambulance, tell them what kind of ambulance you need:
  6. Tell the clerk if you will need a CD of radiology images. This can take up to an hour, so plan ahead.
  7. Call the AOD if after 4 pm; they need to approve the transfer. Between 9am and 4pm, talk to one of our ED administrators, they will put you in touch with Chris Constantino's office (41638).
