As patients seek specialized care, it is important for healthcare organizations to connect patients to specialists as quickly and efficiently as possible. The connection is the first step of the process. Healthcare organizations must then schedule initial evaluations to determine the next step and medical necessity. Once all the options are on the table, the right action for the patient can happen in a timely way.

With OnBase, healthcare organizations can streamline the internal and external referral process by taking in requests, triaging them to the appropriate department, and providing reminders and escalations to ensure the patient has been serviced. By creating a process flow unique to each department, the specialty groups can review and work a referral smoothly by bringing information and medical records into a single workspace.
