A patient referral can be downloaded, printed, and provided to the patient or manually faxed to another provider. A patient referral is initiated from within a signed clinical note and includes a Transition Of Care (TOC) with the option to attach an encounter note. In addition to the download and print options, patient referrals can be sent through Direct Message or eFax.
A history of your patient referrals can be viewed and managed from the Referrals page. For CMS Incentive Programs: When a referral comes back, mark it as received under Referrals as part of your Quality Measures.
