Hospital units are forced to accept patient transfers into rooms that are not fully prepared with necessary staff and safety equipment, creating unsafe conditions and disrupting care for existing patients.

Workarounds Described

• Units call to report readiness only after checking for ambu-bag and suction manually
• Receiving nurses drop everything to settle new patient when transfer arrives unprepared

Implied Software Gaps

• Digital readiness verification tool that ensures required equipment is present before patient transfer
• Centralized dashboard to coordinate readiness between sending and receiving units

ReadyTransfer Coordination

ReadyTransfer is a real-time patient transfer coordination platform that verifies receiving unit readiness—staff availability, equipment presence, and room status—before authorizing patient movement. It balances ED throughput with unit safety by providing transparency and accountability across departments.
