Patient Referral

Healthcare and Medical

A patient referral is the process by which one healthcare provider directs a patient to another provider or specialist for further evaluation, treatment, or services beyond the referring provider's scope. Primary care physicians, nurses, and case managers commonly handle referrals, which require clear communication of medical history and coordination between practices or facilities. Effective referral management helps ensure continuity of care and timely access to specialized treatment.
