Hospital-to-Hospital Transfer Ambulance
A hospital-to-hospital transfer moves a patient from one hospital to another, for specialist care, closer to home, or for a different level of care. Good transfers depend on coordination between both hospitals before the ambulance moves.
When this may be appropriate
- Transfer for specialist treatment not available at the current hospital
- Moving to a hospital closer to family
- Step-down to a different level of care
Confirm the bed before the ambulance moves
The most common cause of a difficult transfer is arriving before the receiving hospital is ready. Confirm the bed, department and admission process in advance, and share a contact at the receiving hospital with us.
Hospital Transfer: common questions
Can you arrange hospital-to-hospital transfers to another city?
Yes. Long-distance hospital transfers are planned the same way, with the added steps of route and oxygen planning.
