Stanford Transfer Center
The Transfer Center serves as a gateway for requests from other facilities. Staffed by communications specialists and registered nurses, the Transfer Center triages requests made by physicians wishing to transfer a patient to Stanford Hospital or Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley.
The goals of the Stanford Transfer Center are:
- To provide ‘one stop shopping’ for physicians wishing to access Stanford Hospital or Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley
- To ensure appropriate utilization of resources.
- To use a multidisciplinary approach, coordinating with physicians, Transfer Center staff, case managers and financial counselors.
- To explore the benefits of bringing a patient in to Stanford Hospital or Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley from an outlying facility.
- To expedite patient transfers.
- To limit potential financial liability on the part of patients and their families.
The Transfer Center is open seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day to take calls related to patient transfers.
