When completed properly, inter hospital transfers (IHTs):

• Reduce length of stay
• Increase patient safety and confidence
• Improve efficiencies and open beds for other patients

IHT checklist poster

To ensure that patients are transferred efficiently within the Teleologic inter hospital transfer (IHT) system, the ODN has developed a checklist of information that should be included by all referring sites.

We encourage teams to download the A3 posters and place in a team area as a reminder.
