Improving the Efficiency of a Military Treatment Facility Transfer Center Process.

CONCLUSION: The improved transfer process at TAMC resulted in a decreased median time of transfer request process, increased total transfer requests, and improved relationships with local civilian hospitals. While we acknowledge that each MTF has facility and regional characteristics (such as capability, capacity, military staffing, and degree of availability of civilian healthcare resources) that may contribute to variation from TAMC, the concepts and changes made in the transfer process may be considered a best practice to be adopted by other military facilities to promote the recapture of beneficiaries into the Defense Health Agency system.
