Make A Referral

Begin by thoroughly assessing the patient’s needs and eligibility criteria for referral. Consider factors such as medical history, symptoms, and the urgency of care required.

Engage in open dialogue with the patient to discuss referral options. Educate them about available services, including the benefits and potential risks associated with each choice.

Ensure accurate documentation of the referral request, including relevant medical records and patient information. Obtain necessary authorisations and consents as per regulatory requirements.

Based on the patient’s preferences, clinical requirements, and insurance coverage, select an appropriate referral provider. Consider factors such as specialty expertise, proximity, and availability of appointments.

Establish clear lines of communication between referring and receiving parties. Share essential information securely and efficiently to facilitate continuity of care.

After the referral is initiated, follow up with both the patient and the receiving provider to track progress and address any concerns or barriers encountered along the way.

Collect feedback from patients and providers to continually improve the referral process. Identify areas for enhancement and implement necessary changes to streamline future referrals.
