For local Washington residents : Call 206.520.7575   For those outside of Washington state : Call the toll-free number 877.520.7575

Step 1 - Send face sheet 

We need this demographic information to create an MRN and help our physicians with their decision to accept a patient as quickly as possible. 

Fax to : 206.520.3252 or 206.744.6167  Email to : [email protected] (HIPPA compliant)

Step 2 - Send images 

Send images via PACS, Life Image, or secure email.

Step 3 - Call the Transfer Center 

When you call, one of our Transfer Center coordinators will complete an intake and remind you to fax a face sheet and send images as needed. We can help facilitate the transfer of clinical documentation to ensure continuity of care. Our transfer team can also help you coordinate air medical transport via Airlift Northwest . All calls to the Transfer Center are recorded for quality purposes. Call volumes may be high leading to longer wait times.   For local Washington residents : Call  206.520.7575 For those outside of Washington state : Call the toll-free number 877.520.7575  

During the phone call with our coordinator, be prepared to provide the following information:

• Referring physician's name and phone number 
• Referring facility name and phone number 
• Diagnosis, acuity and current clinical condition 
• Requested treatment and specialty service 
• Information on whether you are requesting a consult or transfer 
• A patient who has an emergency medical condition (EMC) for which you are requesting transfer because your facility does not have the capacity or capabilities to provide the necessary stabilizing treatment for the EMC. 
• A patient who has an EMC and they (or their legally responsible medical decision-maker) are requesting a transfer to another facility. 
• An "inpatient" status patient at your facility (i.e., is currently admitted for inpatient care).

Step 4 - Clinical triage and discussion

Our Transfer Center team will connect the referring provider with the appropriate UW Medicine physician to discuss the patient's condition. Decisions to transfer are evaluated based on the required level of care, capacity, approval of the accepting physician and other factors. All calls to the Transfer Center are recorded for quality purposes.

Step 5 - Physical transfer of the patient

If accepted, our team will advise you when to set up transport. Please do not send a patient to UW Medicine until directed by our Transfer Center team. When transferring a patient, be sure to send the following physical copies:

• Printed medical history and physical (H&P)
• Printed discharge summary
• Send only if images were not electronically sent

Be sure to inform your patients of UW Medicine's COVID-19 visitor policies . Patients can also text "visitor" to 206.520.5000 for more information.

EMERGENCY TRANSFER

When air transport is necessary, we recommend the referring hospital use Airlift Northwest, but ultimately, we must abide by the transferring physician’s decision, as it is that person’s responsibility to decide what transport mode and service will be used.

Requests for air medical transport can be initiated by the UW Medicine Transfer Center and relayed to the Airlift Northwest Communications Center 800.426.2430 for immediate transport upon acceptance.

Patient Transfer and Access Center

Find a UVA Health Provider

At UVA Health System, we are continually evaluating our procedures to ensure we are providing optimal access to care. Your satisfaction with the patient transfer process has been a key consideration this year, and after careful review, we have made improvements we hope will allow for more streamlined service and a reliable, timely response to transfer requests.

For those requesting to transfer patients to UVA, the process will appear unchanged, with the exception of the phone number required. Behind the scenes, however, we have established our own internal response team within our Transfer Center. These 12 new personnel are medics — not call center operators — who have up to 30 years of experience in the medical field. This means they are better prepared to appropriately triage patients based on information provided. They can more easily detect patients who are emergent and they know which clinicians to contact for consultation.

“We now have Medic Transfer Coordinators working the transfer service 24-7,” says Transfer Center Manager Sarah Souter. “By asking key clinical questions, they can better guide calls to the appropriate service line, and can be a better monitor of patient conditions if changes occur.”

In addition, a new note section in Epic will allow UVA to record and track this information over time so that when a patient arrives, UVA’s team is well aware of their current status. “Now we have real-time clinical information that allows us to place patients appropriately from the start,” Souter says.

Because the transfer team will be co-located with the UVA Bed Center, there will also be greater transparency in terms of bed availability. “This will allow us to better estimate when exactly a bed will be available and provide a clear ETA to referring hospitals,” says Souter.

If you would like to transfer a patient to UVA Medical Center, call 844.XFERUVA (844.933.7882).

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
