We will facilitate communication between the referring physician and a Spartanburg Regional physician. Once an accepting physician is obtained, the Transfer Center will provide the needed information to the originating facility.
If the physician in your office needs to talk to a physician in the hospital regarding a patient who needs to be admitted, we can facilitate a conference call between them. Once the decision to admit is made by the accepting physician, no additional calls to secure a bed are needed.
