Step 1: Receive Patient Referral

Type: Save Data Entry

In this initial stage of patient care, the healthcare provider receives referrals from various sources. Primary care physicians, specialists, or other healthcare organizations can refer patients to our medical practice for specific treatments or conditions. The referral typically includes essential information such as the patient's medical history, reason for referral, and any relevant test results. Our team reviews each referral to ensure it is complete and accurate. This step involves verifying the referring physician's contact details and confirming the patient's consent to transfer their medical records to our practice. Once these preliminary checks are completed, the referral is processed further, and a meeting with the primary care provider or specialist is scheduled to discuss the patient's needs and develop an individualized treatment plan.
