The Referral Document Package Builder eliminates the guesswork of what to include in a referral by automatically assembling a comprehensive, standards-aligned packet. It pulls together relevant documentation, clinical notes, lab and imaging results, problem lists, medications, and referral-specific forms, into a single exportable package that’s ready for transmission through DirectTrust or other interoperable channels.

Each packet includes structured C-CDA and FHIR DocumentReference content with full provenance, timestamps, and a clearly defined clinical question. The Builder ensures that receiving sites get the right context up front, reducing back-and-forth for missing information and improving acceptance rates. A built-in checklist verifies required content before submission, ensuring quality, completeness, and compliance with organizational and regulatory standards.

  • Clearer clinical context: Frames each referral with purpose, indication, and relevant prior findings for faster triage and decision-making.
  • Improved compliance posture: Maintains provenance and traceability aligned with C-CDA and FHIR documentation standards.
