The growing need for specialized medical care in the United States has never been greater. In
many communities, health care facilities are not able meet this
increasing demand. This shortage of services creates a need to
transfer a patient to a more capable facility for definitive care.
The patient transfer process takes valuable time and resources away

that need it most.
TransferLink can solve this problem by providing hospital
systems of any size, convenient and efficient transfer center
services with a "one call" approach. The specialists at
TransferLink have an extensive network for patient transfer
referrals as well as bed sourcing and physician conferencing. Once
the initial call has been made to TransferLink, the patient
transfer process is coordinated seamlessly including physician and
specialty services, bed and department capabilities, as well as air
or ground transportation. TransferLink also acts as a synergistic
marketing tool for HSI's RCM services.
During the patient transfer, the TransferLink specialists keep
departments and hospital staff up to date by utilizing an on-demand
and event-based notification system. In addition to regular updates
by phone, notices can be customized and sent through paging, email,
and two-way SMS text messaging.
The distinguishing service that TransferLink provides, is a web
based client portal for department managers and hospital
administrators to track and manage patient transfer information.
The client portal provides real time operational dashboards along
with analytics depicting the following HIPAA compliant
displays:
- Service area and trending graphs
- Decline and cancellation reasons
- Top referring facility list
- Complete patient transfer notation history
- Transport unit status screen
Department managers and hospital administrators can utilize the
data from the client portal to generate on-demand reports to help
them make better patient transport decisions. Monthly, quarterly
and annual reports can be customized and provided to the client to
ensure quality and accuracy.

Communications says, "Our team is dedicated and passionate about
their work serving this important segment of the patient management
system. The TransferLink team gracefully coordinates with
multiple facilities, physicians, and transportation companies on
each and every patient request. They take great pride in the
service they provide."
