The destination facility will receive a notification notifying them of your transfer request.

The facility that received the request also has the ability to communicate directly with you and the care team at the requesting facility to gather any additional pertinent patient information.
Once the receiving facility has accepted the transfer request, all members of the care team at the requesting facility will receive the following notification:
The Requests section will update showing that the transfer has been accepted.
At this point, you can proceed with your established patient transfer process.
The Transfer row in the requests section can be tapped to show additional information about the patient at the other facility, including Registration Number, ED Arrival Time, and Room Number.
