The Sutter Transfer Center, staffed by coordinating specialists, nurses, and physicians, serves as the central hub for managing these complex transfers, facilitating real-time clinical collaboration and resource alignment across facilities. This activity highlights best practices for optimizing transfer workflows, improving continuity of care, and supporting safe, efficient transitions for critically injured patients.
