The N.J Universal Transfer Form (UTF) must be used by all licensed healthcare facilities and programs when a patient is transferred from one care setting to another. To access the UTF, click here.

The purpose of the UTF is to ensure that accurate communication of pertinent clinical patient care information is conveyed at the time of a transfer between healthcare facilities or programs. The UTF conveys patient information that a physician or nurse need to appropriately begin caring for a patient when the patient arrives at a new facility. This includes codes status.
