Preferred term
patient transfer
Definition
- Patient transfers can be defined by the various methods (e.g., ground or air transport) and motives (e.g., transfer to another hospital because the patient does not have health insurance) for moving a patient from one location to another. A major classification of patient transfers is whether they are intrafacility or interfacility transfers. [Source: Encyclopedia of Health Services Research; Patient Transfers]
