Interhospital Transfer
Interhospital transfer refers to the process of moving a patient from one hospital to another for specialized care or treatment. This transfer may be necessary when a hospital lacks the required resources, expertise, or facilities to address a patient's specific medical needs.
The transfer is typically coordinated by healthcare professionals, including doctors and nurses, who ensure that the patient is stable and that all necessary medical information is communicated. Transport may involve ambulances or air transport, depending on the distance and urgency of the situation, ensuring that the patient receives timely and appropriate care at the receiving hospital.
