From: The impact of atypical intrahospital transfers on patient outcomes: a mixed methods study
A depiction of a regular and atypical transfer movement. Ward pairs (i,k), and (i,p) belong to the same overarching speciality, making all transfers between them ‘regular’. Similarly, ward pairs (a,b) belong to an alternative overarching speciality and transfers between this pair are ‘regular’. Meanwhile, transfers between crossing specialities (such as (a,k), and (i,b)) are classed as ‘atypical’.
