Author Teemu Kumpulainen Nov 7, 2024 1:21:25 PM
Patient transfers refer to situations where a patient is moved from one healthcare unit to another, for example, from one hospital to another or to a long-term care facility. These transfers are an essential part of healthcare workflow, and their success significantly impacts patient safety and the quality of care. While patient transfers might seem straightforward – find an available location and arrange transportation – in practice, the process is often much more complicated and stressful.

These fees typically include both statutory and provider-specific charges, often capped at certain maximum limits. Payments may be collected entirely from the patients or partially covered by Kela (the Social Insurance Institution of Finland), insurance companies, or other entities.
