Referral Form
Patient transfer services at the transfer center include a one-call customer service center, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We assist all parties involved with the transfer of urgent admissions to The University of Kansas Hospital. Our goals are to streamline the referral and acceptance process, making it less time consuming and more convenient for everyone.
All referrals require a physician-to-physician consult to discuss the condition of the patient prior to acceptance.
