A transfer to another hospital takes place when the patient, in view of his treatment, is moved to an other hospital for further treatment without a previous discharge in the first hospital. 

Basic Flow

In the case of a patient transfer to another hospital, the normal flow is similar as to the basic flow during admission. All medication updates are transferred to Vitalink as if it were a normal discharge.

In the case medication (e.g. intravenal medication, hospital specific medication) is not uploadable to Vitalink, the medication  is passed on to the receiving hospital via the transfer note (via the hub, via the eHealth box or others). This is because information during and related to an admission is often hospital-related and not adaptable to home medication as is the purpose of the Vitalink format.
