How a Patient Referral Management rollout works

Start with one specialty queue and rehearse the patient-to-visit handoff.

  1. Set identity

    Prepare user, staff and patient records. Check assigned clinicians, current care team assignments and privilege evidence.

  2. Set referral intake

    Agree on specialty wording, priority use, review ownership and the point when a request becomes Scheduled.

  3. Rehearse care

    Take a reviewed request into an encounter, record visit evidence and check relevant consent.

  4. Rehearse follow-through

    Add a referral follow-up and assigned care task. Review due work and escalation with the manager.

  5. Expand scope

    Add further specialties after the team can explain its ordinary and exception handoffs from linked records.

What the customer provides

Provide patient identifiers, current staff and user mappings, referral sources, specialty names, assignment purposes, privilege evidence and the team members who make review decisions. Choose representative ordinary, urgent, declined and cancelled cases for rehearsal. Identify any appointment or provider communication system that must be connected.

Changing it afterwards

Review a status or permission change with the people who use it. Rehearse the affected path from intake to follow-up and confirm existing records still make sense. Update staff assignments and privilege periods when coverage changes, and inspect the open queues after each change.
