a. Source of data. Self-explanatory. (Item 31, ITRCS).
b. Enter the code for the MTF to which the patient is being moved. Locate a first
position code from table 4-17, followed by the MTF code from table 4-1. A complete list
of MTF codes can be found in the Individual Patient Data System (IPDS) User's Manual.
c. If the transfer is to other than a U.S. military MTF, construct a three-position
code. Locate a first position code from table 4-17. The second and third positions will
either be a two-numeric state code from table 4-2, or a two-alpha character country
code, or local civilian facilities may be assigned a number by your facility for catchment
area management. The entire code should be no more than six characters and left-
justified. If positions 4, 5, and 6 are not coded for use at the local level, leave blank.
d. In the following examples, the first patient was transferred to a civilian MTF in
the state of Massachusetts; the second patient was transferred to Fitzsimons AMC,
Denver CO.
