Electronic Referral System Overview
-
eReferral: Access to specialty care.
Clinics that provide primary care can refer patients to clinics and/or
providers that provide specialty care. Each specialty has a list of
required items provided as guidance to help ensure that the referral is
complete. Referring providers, can upload attachments, and can track
the progress of the patient through the workflow. On completion of the
exam, the rendering provider can upload the progress note, for return to the
referring provider.
-
eConsult: For some services, a
provider-to-provider consult may be sufficient. This feature allows
providers to send and receive electronic messages and documents.
-
Surgery Wait List: Clinics can put patients that
need surgery on a county-wide wait list. Care coordinators at
facilities that offer surgery days can view the wait list and accept
patients based on provider availability. Care coordinators can then
manage their workflow to track candidates through the process to determine
if they are eligible to receive the surgery.
-
Hospital ED & Discharge Follow Up: Patients that have been treated
at the hospital can be referred to a local community clinic for their follow up visit.
Hospital staff schedules an appointment for the patient and prints a referral form that explains where to
go for the follow up appointment. At Long Beach Memorial, return visits to the ER are down 50%
for new patients
that leave the ER with a primary care appointment.
-
ED Offloading: ED staff emphasize the importance of
receiving primary care in a medical home rather than the ED. Patients that present with non-emergent conditions can
be given an appointment at a local community clinic (rather than be treated), by a member of
the triage staff. They also give
patients a brochure that reinforces the concept that the clinic is their medical home
... not the ED.
-
Social Services:& PHASE 2 enhancements evolved the system into the first ever nonprofit collaboration tool
in Orange County that will enable the health centers to quickly create referrals for services such as food, ACA enrollment, legal aid and so forth.
Service agencies can also create referrals to other service agencies, and funders will have a central reporting database from which they
will be able to gather a wealth of information about both demand-side and supply-side metrics.
