The Patient-Facing Referral Prep app helps patients complete all the necessary steps before their referral is scheduled, forms, uploads, instructions, and preferences, all from a secure mobile or web experience. It ensures referrals arrive “ready to schedule,” reducing back-and-forth between patients and intake teams while improving satisfaction and compliance.
Patients receive a friendly checklist customized to the referral type, including required forms, prior test results, insurance cards, and accessibility or interpreter needs. Once submitted, updates flow directly into the EMR and coordinator dashboard, triggering readiness status indicators and optional reminders for incomplete items. This creates a single, patient-centered process that keeps everyone aligned, patients, coordinators, and schedulers.
