Receiving a Referral
Incoming referrals appear in your EHR dashboard with the patient's information and the referring provider's notes. Accept the referral to add the patient to your schedule.
Tracking
Both the referring and receiving providers can track the referral status: pending, accepted, scheduled, completed, or declined. The patient can also see the referral status in their portal.
Patient Consent
Referrals require patient consent for sharing clinical records. The patient is notified and must authorize the record transfer before clinical documents are shared with the receiving provider.
