Patient care during inter-facility transfer depends not only on the expertise provided by the receiving facility, but also on timely and accurate patient information received from the transferring institution. Our prospective study quantified compliance with inter-facility transfer communication and revealed an opportunity for improvement. Introduction of a simple written template to enhance communication between providers improved the quality of transfer information.
