Know whether a referred patient ever actually got scheduled

A clinic sends patient referrals to specialists by fax, so nobody at the referring practice knows whether the patient ever actually scheduled or attended the appointment. Build a referral record that tracks all the way to outcome.

A fax has no idea what happened next

Sending a referral by fax is a one-way action. The referring practice has no visibility into whether it was received, whether the patient scheduled, or what the outcome was—unless someone follows up manually, which often doesn't happen.

Track a referral from creation through confirmation to outcome, so a patient doesn't fall through the gap between two practices.

From referral to outcome
  1. 1. Referring provider creates a referral with reason and urgency
  2. 2. Referral is sent to the receiving provider or organization
  3. 3. Receiving organization confirms receipt and schedules the patient
  4. 4. Appointment outcome is reported back to the referring provider
  5. 5. Referral closes with the outcome recorded

Scenarios to test in your preview

  • A referral must not close without an outcome recorded, even if the patient never scheduled.
  • A receiving organization must only see referrals sent to them, not another practice's referrals.
