The National Transfer Network

The National Transfer Network (NTN) is a structured system that enables the safe and organized transfer of patients, typically trauma or emergency cases, between healthcare facilities across the country. It ensures that patients receive appropriate care by coordinating transportation, sharing critical medical information, and establishing transfer protocols. The NTN helps streamline communication among hospitals and emergency services, reducing delays, improving patient outcomes, and ensuring that individuals receive the right level of care promptly. It functions as a nationwide framework to facilitate seamless and efficient patient transfers in urgent medical situations.
