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 and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital.

The goals of the Stanford Transfer Center are:

  • To provide a single point of contact for physicians wishing to access hospital services.
  • 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 to Stanford from an outlying facility.
  • To expedite patient transfers.
  • To limit potential financial liability on the part of patients and their families.

Communication Center

The Communications Center is open seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day to take calls related to patient transfers.
