Profile Chris Rubio

Every day, hospitals lose precious time coordinating patient transfers, often relying on phone calls, faxes, and manual protocols that vary by diagnosis and urgency. The UTSW TransferAgent is a smart, Epic-integrated triage assistant that streamlines this entire workflow, from structured intake to diagnosis-specific routing and capacity-aware decision support. Whether for stroke, LVAD, or transplant cases, the Agent ensures that the right protocols are triggered and the right teaM.S. are notified, automatically and in real-time. With its built-in dashboards and decision tracking, it also offers hospital leadership unprecedented operational transparency and resource planning. No existing market solution currently offers this level of intelligent transfer coordination, making TransferAgent a prime candidate for in-house development, pilot deployment, and long-term commercialization.
