Patient Referral Forms in SigmaMD: Enhancing Advanced Care Coordination

Navigating the healthcare system can often feel like an uphill battle, especially when coordinating care between different providers. One key to a smooth healthcare experience? Efficient, seamless referrals. That's exactly what we're addressing with our latest feature at SigmaMD.

A New Era of Patient Referral Forms

In this new era of referrals, we recognize their vital role in coordinated care, acting as a bridge between healthcare providers. We've added a nifty new feature to our platform: custom referral PDF creation. Designed to streamline the first part of the patient referral process, this tool ensures that the receiving clinician has all the necessary information at their fingertips.

What makes our referral feature stand out is the ease of creating comprehensive documentation with a personal touch. The referral PDFs are customized with your practice's branding, including logo, name, address, and contact info, all set up through the newly released Practice Profile screen. This not only adds a professional flair to your referrals but also reinforces your brand with every communication.

Your referrals can also include a cover with comments, ICD-10 codes, and your signature — simply upload your signature image on the newly released Profile screen.

Efficiency Is Key

We understand the importance of time for both clinicians and patients. That's why we've made our referral process as straightforward as possible. With a few clicks, you can generate a comprehensive file encompassing the patient's information: health data, clinical notes, documents, and soon, lab results. The main information is pre-selected, but you can review and adjust as needed.

This feature saves time and ensures accurate, secure conveyance of patient data, minimizing the risk of errors.

Real-Life Impact: A Scenario with Patient Referral Forms

Imagine a patient visiting their Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinician for a regular check-up. During the visit, the clinician determines that the patient needs to undergo preventive OB/GYN exams. Time is of the essence, but so is accuracy and detail.

With SigmaMD's referral feature, the clinician swiftly creates a referral PDF, complete with all necessary patient details and practice information. The file is then uploaded and sent via an eFax tool to the OB/GYN clinician, who receives it promptly, with clear, concise, and complete information.

This efficient process ensures that the patient receives timely and coordinated care without any additional stress or delay.

With the launch of our Referral PDF creation feature, we're excited to offer a tool that not only simplifies the referral process but also enhances coordinated care quality. At SigmaMD, we are committed to equipping clinicians with the best tools for excellent care. This feature is a significant step in that direction. Whether it's streamlining communication or ensuring a patient's journey through various health services is as smooth as silk, we're here to ensure you have what you need to do what you do best—care for your patients.
