The Stanford Transfer Center serves as a gateway for transfers from other facilities. Staffed by registered nurses, the Transfer Center triages requests made by physicians wishing to transfer a patient to Stanford. The Communications Center is open seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day to take calls related to patient transfers.

The goals of the Stanford Transfer Center are:

To provide "one stop shopping" for physicians wishing to access Stanford's 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 in to Stanford from an outlying facility.
To expedite patient transfers.
To limit potential financial liability on the part of patients and their families.

Once a transferred patient has arrived at Stanford Hospital, the Transfer Center RNs follow up to ensure that the appropriate care has been delivered. When the specialty care plan is completed, the patient is either discharged, or the Transfer Center works with Stanford case managers to arrange return transfer to the sending facility.
