- Today
- A referral arrives by secure mail or post, an assistant reads it, types the patient's details and insurer into the practice system, calls about what is missing, and the patient waits for an intake.
- Agents take over
- Agents read each referral, take out the administrative details, check the patient's insurer and what is missing, prepare the registration and the intake forms, and propose an intake slot in the right calendar.
- A person decides
- Practice staff confirm every registration and every appointment; what the referral says about the patient's care is for the clinician to read and decide on.
- The audit trail records
- The referral, what was taken from it, what was missing, who confirmed the registration and when are recorded per referral.
- Your team owns
- The intake rules, the forms and the calendar rules are the practice's own.
