Teaching hospitals are the likely recipients of transferred patients, whose complex care tends to be costly.  This Analysis in Brief uses FY 06 MedPAR data to examine whether teaching hospitals, particularly members of the AAMC's Council of Teaching Hospitals and Health Systems (COTH), are more likely to receive a higher proportion of the transfer population than are other hospital types and the characteristics of the patients transferred to these hospitals.
