How to Increase Health System Patient Retention with Patient Transfers

At a time when health care margins are wilting away and budgets are tighter than ever, keeping the appropriate patients within your system is essential to supporting your organization’s financial health.

Transfer Centers Can Help Increase Patient Acquisition

The shifting regional care landscapes and alliances further complicate patient transfer challenges. Insights into available services, capabilities and capacity within and outside your network is a requirement in order to avoid care delays.

Patient transfers are a necessary function that can be inefficient and frustrating. Your transfer processes, both referring and receiving patients, can significantly impact your reputation. Efficient patient transfers may increase patient acquisition, as well as retention.
