German term or phrase: Partnerstation/Abgabestation/Aufnahmestation URGEN

Text about a telecoms system linking patients to carers in hospitals; sentence is "Zwischen zwei Partnerstationen gibt es eine Abgabestation und eine Aufnahmestation."
The sentence is referring to when various wards are assigned to one particular machine which will take alarm calls from patients if they are not in their wards, ie. when there are few staff on one ward the calls will be diverted to another telecom station on another ward. HTH.

Explanation:
Apparently, partner stations are linked by a sender and a receiver for diverting the calls. There are a lot of stations here, which is why I shortened it above. Maybe sender/receiver unit? HTH, Beth.

source station, target station

Explanation:
This terminology would reflect the directionalty of the hand-off from one station (the source station, where staff is in short supply) to another station (the target station, better staffed to take care of these emergency calls.) --- As an aside, I would avoid referring to hospital staff as "carers", at least for a US audience.
