8 Essentials for Transfer Center Operations in Healthcare

When medical clinics, specialists, or other referring providers need to transfer a patient, how long are they left on hold while trying to coordinate care? The healthcare transfer center is a critical element of the care experience for patients and referring physicians, but outdated technology can inhibit this fundamental component of care delivery. Legacy on-prem systems can’t always facilitate the kinds of workflows needed to promote efficiency in today’s healthcare environment, in large part due to their limited support of integrations.

That’s a major drawback, because integrations with key hospital systems can support higher turnover and throughput rates to ensure your hospitals are running at maximum capacity.
