Drafts of Key Data Elements for Hospital to Nursing Facility Information Transfer
The two PDF files below contain examples of key data elements that should be considered for inclusion in paper or electronic forms when a patient is transferred from a Hospital to a Nursing Facility. The first is the current draft of a Hospital to Nursing Facility transfer form developed by a multi-organizational working group in Florida led by the Florida Hospital Association. The second is the Massachusetts Department of Health Universal Transfer Form.

These forms are intended to provide examples of what multi-organizational groups consider key data elements for information transfer from hospitals to nursing homes.
