Vendor-neutral applications
A tool that consolidates all referral information, whether it arrives by phone, by fax or with the patient — on an open network, FHIR enabled.
One job, done properly
Getting all referral data into an open-network, FHIR-enabled vendor-neutral application guarantees that every patient is seen, and speeds up scheduling. The word that matters is all: a system that only handles digital referrals leaves the fax and the paper outside, which is where most of the volume still is.
Three consequences
Standardisation raises acceptance
A referred case record in a standard form is more likely to be accepted by the receiving institution, which is the single biggest determinant of whether a referral completes.
Automation becomes possible
Referral from existing hospitals can be automated once the record has a predictable shape.
Shared infrastructure follows
Digital infrastructure enables shared physical infrastructure and human resources on demand — which is how self-sustaining hospitals become possible.
