You can distinguish between moving patients and transfering patients in MeSH.
"Transportation of Patients"
Moving patients from one place to another - e.g. in an ambulance or helicopter.
"Moving and Lifting Patients"
Moving patients short distances, for example from bed to chair. Also repositioning a patient within the hospital bed.
"Patient Transfer"
Moving patients between hospitals/facilities or between departments in a hospital. Involves paperwork and handover communication/protocol.
