Determining Necessary Trauma Patient Transfer Agreements
Pursuant to section 3727.09 of the Ohio Revised Code, each hospital in Ohio is required,
by November 3, 2002, to have agreements in place for the transfer of adult and pediatric trauma patients. The number and
type of agreements needed by each hospital depends on that hospital's own trauma capability as a verified or provisional adult
or pediatric trauma center. Model Trauma Patient Transfer
