Intended audience: recipient coordinatortransplant program admin
Recipient Coordinators can make a request to TGLN to transfer a recipient’s care to their program, from a different transplant program. A transfer may be required if a recipient re-locates within Ontario, or if the recipient needs an additional transplant that cannot be performed at the original transplant centre.
There are several transfer scenarios that are handled differently
Active transfer: transfer a waitlisted recipient’s care to a new transplant program.
VAD transfer: transfer a heart recipient’s Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) care to a new transplant program.
Post-transplant transfer: transfer a recipient’s post-transplant care to a new transplant program.
When a transfer is processed in OATS, some or all of the recipient’s journey information will be made available to the new transplant program.
