Transfer discharge refers to the process of moving a patient from one healthcare facility to another or to a different level of care within the same facility. This can occur for various reasons, such as the need for specialized treatment, rehabilitation, or a more suitable environment for recovery. Proper communication and documentation are essential during this process to ensure continuity of care. During a transfer discharge, healthcare providers typically prepare a summary of the patient's medical history, treatment received, and any ongoing care needs. This information is shared with the receiving facility or provider, ensuring that the patient receives appropriate care without interruption. Effective transfer discharge helps improve patient outcomes and enhances overall healthcare efficiency.
