Background: The inter-hospital transfer process is complex even under ideal circumstances, susceptible to logistical errors, inefficiencies, and patient harm. Clinical hospitalists have historically been responsible for triage of all Medicine transfers at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU), fielding 10-20 calls daily alongside clinical and educational responsibilities. In part due to time constraints during triage, […]
