How do I create and track a referral?
Who can do this: clinicians and coaches. Coaches request referrals and a clinician approves them.
Create a referral
- Open the patient's chart on Profile.
- In the Referrals section, select the + (New referral) button.
- Choose a Specialty and Priority. Optionally pick a Receiving Provider from your clinic.
- Enter a Reason for Referral of at least 10 characters. Add Clinical History, Diagnosis / ICD-10 and Questions for Specialist if useful.
- Select Create Referral. Coaches see Request Referral.
Track it
Select Referrals in the Tools group. Use the tabs All, Pending Review, Draft, Sent, Accepted, Scheduled and Completed. Select a referral to open its details.
Clinicians can then:
- Select Approve Referral on a coach's request.
- Select Route to Receiving Provider, then Route Referral, to hand it to a provider in your clinic. This button needs a receiving provider on the referral.
- The receiving provider selects Accept Referral, or declines.
- Select Schedule, pick a date and select Schedule again. Later, select Mark Completed.
Use Cancel Referral to stop one.
GRAICE does not send referrals outside your clinic
Routing is an in-app handoff only. If the specialist is outside your clinic, send the referral yourself by fax, phone or your own secure email, then record the outcome in GRAICE.
