Transfer line
Your key to quick admissions
Time is of the essence when transferring a critically ill patient. The Liberty Hospital Transfer Line speeds and improves the process.
Fast, appropriate action
When you are faced with a critically ill patient who needs to be transferred, speed and appropriateness are equally important. That’s precisely what the Liberty Hospital Transfer Line is designed to facilitate. When you call our toll-free line (816.736.4999), our transfer team takes prompt action to connect you with a transfer specialist and physician. As soon as a transfer is determined to be appropriate, we accept your patient and begin arrangements for transportation, placement, and records transfer in a well-coordinated and efficient effort.
Our transfer team operates with a clear mission: to streamline the referral and acceptance process for urgent referrals, making it less time-consuming and more efficient for everyone. The goal is to get the right patient to the right place at the right time.
A critical element to our success is the availability of our award-winning physicians and nurse practitioners, who are in house 24/7. The transfer team will ensure you receive a call from our physician/nurse practitioner promptly and efficiently.
Specialty services receiving most patients transferred here for care include:
- Internal medicine
- Cardiology/chest pain

- Trauma care
- Orthopedics

Information speeds process
The quality and completeness of information you provide can make a meaningful difference in the pace and success of the transfer. We ask you to give us a succinct report on the patient’s current condition and to transmit the critical vital stats and radiographs. Having recent images available can significantly affect our ability to treat the patient appropriately as quickly as needed.
When you speak with the attending physician, you may discuss the best options for immediate management as well as transportation specifics. If the patient is transferred, we can help facilitate a nurse report, get a bed assigned, and notify you when the patient arrives.
