Outcomes of Access Center Transfers for Thoracic Surgical Issues
This is the first study to provide details on interhospital transfers for thoracic surgery needs. A substantial portion of transferred patients undergo an invasive procedure by thoracic surgeons and other proceduralists. The study highlights an underappreciated part of thoracic surgeons' contribution to patient care in the community and hospital system.
