Spend less time on referrals and more time on care

Process and respond to referrals more quickly

Referral Management

Netsmart referral management solution automates and integrates the referral process. It cuts referral response time in half by electronically aggregating multiple referral networks into a single portal, and streamlining the acceptance and rejection process. Organizations use fewer resources to handle referrals, processing them more quickly and accurately, and gaining a competitive advantage.

Our referral management solution gathers data and provides analytics and dashboards to help organizations gauge referral sources, patient risk and program performance. Once a referral is accepted, the solution passes patient information to the EHR, creating efficiencies for the admissions team by populating the pre-admit workflows. The shared documentation platform and integrated secure chat features provide transparency and enhance collaboration during the referral intake process.

Additionally, the solution provides consistent and reliable operational, financial and performance reporting. Using embedded secure messaging tools, internal teams can collaborate on the most appropriate care setting for the individual, enabling providers to deliver more effective care coordination and transitions of care.
