Washington Transfer of Care is a process used in the state of Washington in which a patient is transferred from one health care provider to another. It is used when a patient needs more intensive care than can be provided in their current setting, or when a patient needs to be moved to a different facility. There are two types of Washington Transfer of Care: Intractability and Inter-facility. Intractability transfers occur when a patient is transferred from one unit of a health care facility to another. Inter-facility transfers involve the transfer of a patient from one facility to another. In both cases, the patient’s care is coordinated between the sending and receiving facilities to ensure the patient’s safety and best care.
