RuralLinkThe transfer center and patient retention agent.

Summarizes referral documents in about ten minutes with source links, matches each case to the closest safe destination in your network, and tracks who can come home.


The Problem

Transfer coordination still runs on phones and fax.

Phones & fax

Transfer coordination runs on calls and faxed packets; nothing maintains a living capability matrix across the network

Leakage

Referrals drift to out-of-network tertiary centers, and repatriation is tracked on whiteboards, if at all

20 hrs/wk

Recovered in the first month by a published EHR-built transfer prototype, with zero hallucinations (Epic UGM 2026 presentation)


Six Agents, One Transfer Case

From intake to leakage analytics, every step source-linked and owned by your transfer-center RN and accepting physician.

Built to run on Epic Agent Factory. Your clinicians and staff decide; the agent assembles and drafts. Epic only for now.

1 · Intake

Structure the clinical picture

Ingests faxes, PDFs, CCDs, and Direct messages; structures the clinical picture; validates identity.

2 · Summary

Source-linked transfer summary

A transfer summary in about ten minutes, with an explicit missing-data section.

3 · Capability match

Closest safe destination

Scores destinations against a governed matrix of service lines, on-call coverage, and bed types, including keep-at-sender.

4 · Acceptance packet

Drafts, never signs

Drafts bed request, pended orders, transport checklist, and EMTALA fields; nothing is signed by an agent.

5 · Repatriation

Who can come home

Monitors tertiary-placed patients against return criteria and drafts the return-transfer workflow.

6 · Leakage analytics

Monthly transfer patterns

Where patients went, what was retainable, which gaps are worth closing.


Governance

Humans stay in the loop.

The transfer-center RN and accepting physician own every clinical decision. No triage determination is made by an agent.

Local validation on your data

Human-in-the-loop on every patient-facing action

BAA-covered models with zero-retention inference

Source-linked output with no inferred values

Traceable agent actions


How We Engage

Phase-gated delivery, with a go/no-go at every gate.

Phase 0

Discovery & design

Stakeholder interviews, data profiling, governance intake, and baseline lock.

Phase 1

Data foundation

Pipelines, feeds, and models built on your data; templates signed by your clinical and operational owners.

Phase 2

Build

Agents, workflows, and dashboards; the gate requires QA accuracy on historical cases.

Phase 3

Pilot

Parallel run beside the current process with 100% human review and weekly scorecards.

Phase 4

Scale & handoff

Runbooks, executive ROI readout, 60-day hypercare, optional managed operations.

Start with a transfer leakage snapshot.

Twelve months of transfer dispositions in, a retention opportunity out, in about ten business days. No charge.
