TRANSFER OF CARE Documentation

The Midstate REMAC approved the use of a single page “transfer of care form” (Drop sheet) for Midstate use in 2014.  It is expected that a patient care report will be left with every patient, this form was intended to allow for a quick written record of patient care.  IT IS NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE THE COMPLETED PATIENT CARE RECORD either written or electronic.  Our REMAC agreed to this form with the expectation that a completed form will be at the hospital within 4 hours of the patient arrival.
