When to Transfer a Patient to a Trauma Center | Dr. Patrick Kim, Trauma Surgeon

Penn Medicine's Level 1 Trauma Center has the resources to care for the most seriously ill and injured single- or multisystem trauma patients. Patrick Kim MD, trauma surgeon and the Trauma Program Medical Director at Penn Medicine's Level 1 Trauma Center, reviews when a patient who suffers serious traumatic injuries should be transferred from a hospital to a Trauma Center. Patients suffering below traumatic injuries can easily exceed the capabilities of a hospital: --A patient with an injury that the hospital does not treat --A patient with multiple injuries requiring complex care or extensive coordination of care --A patient with a single injury that is life-threatening --A patient with special critical care needs --A patient with pre-existing medical conditions that increase the risk of complication or death If you are a physician in the Philadelphia area and your injured patient requires emergent transfer, call the Penn Transfer Center (1-877-YES-PENN). The Transfer Center will work with you to contact the appropriate Attending Surgeon and initiate a 3-way call with you to discuss the patient. --Learn more about Penn Trauma Surgeon, Dr. Patrick Kim: https://www.pennmedicine.org/provider... --Refer a patient to Dr. Kim or another Penn physician: https://www.pennmedicine.org/refer-yo... --Connect with a Penn Physician via PhysicianLink: https://www.pennmedicine.org/for-heal... --Learn more about Penn's Level 1 Trauma Center: https://www.pennmedicine.org/for-heal... --Transfer a patient to Penn's Level 1 Trauma Center: https://www.pennmedicine.org/for-pati... --Tweet us:   / pennmdforum   1-877-YES-PENN
