The kind of move a patient is being made within the facility. Bound to the transfer form's 'Transfer type' question. A ward transfer gives up the sending bed, an escalation or de-escalation changes the level of care as well, and theatre and procedure are temporary moves the patient returns from with the bed held.

https://fhir.slade360.co.ke/fhir/CodeSystem/transfer-codesystem version 📦0.1.0| Code | Display | Definition |
| ward-transfer | Ward transfer | A move to another ward at the same level of care. The bed the patient leaves is given up. |
| escalation | Escalation | A move to a higher level of care, such as a general ward to high dependency or intensive care, because the patient has deteriorated or needs closer monitoring than the sending ward can give. |
| de-escalation | De-escalation | A move to a lower level of care, such as intensive care to high dependency or a general ward, because the patient has improved enough to be nursed with less support. |
| theatre | Theatre | A move to an operating theatre for surgery. Temporary: the patient returns to the ward, or to recovery and then the ward, and the bed is held for them. |
| procedure | Procedure | A move to a procedure or investigation area for something that cannot be done at the bedside. Temporary in the same way theatre is, and separate from it because it needs no theatre list, no anaesthetic booking and usually no recovery bay. |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
| Level | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies |
| System | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) |
| Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance) |
| Display | The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application |
| Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept |
| Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
