How Patient Referral Management Software Makes the Outbound Referral Process Simpler? Explained Workflow of Our Solution

There are so many time-consuming and error-prone barriers in the outbound referral process.

From insurance authorization to updating the information back into the EMR/EHR.

But patient referral management software streamlines this entire loop.

What you need to do is – create a referral order in the EMR/EHR by adding details like reasons, priority, insurance authorization number, diagnosis code etc.

After that, just leave it to the patient referral portal.

1. The software automatically syncs data from the EMR/EHR

2. Insurance authorization

There is no need for the insurance provider to fill out a referral form as the software automatically created the referral order.

So, they just need to validate all the information and place the pre-authorization with the help of a referring consultant.

3. Referral consultant choose the right care specialist

Now, the referral tracking system helps the referral consultation (RC) to analyze all the care needs of patients.

And with the intelligent care provider search, they can choose the right care specialist.

4. Share the patients’ documents securely

Once the RC finds the right care specialist, they can send a referral request to him or her along with the necessary documents.

Submit referral with necessary documents

5. Automated notification

This is one of the best features of our solution to patient referral management software.

Because it helps in reducing the no-show rate of the patient.

Not only this, but it also sends an appointment reminder to the care specialist.

This helps them in scheduling their appointments more efficiently without missing out on other responsibilities.

The patient referral management system also allows the care specialists to update referral status.

And as per the referral status, the app automatically sends reminders to RC.

What’s more, it also allows RC to track the referral status in real-time along with the outcome of the care.
