Referral support for private medical practices

A referral isn’t complete
until the report returns.

Give every referral a clear owner and next step. We’re developing practical workflow support around the tools your practice already uses.

15 minutes to discuss your workflow. Please don’t share patient information.

From request to review.

  1. Request checked

    Referral coordinator

    Confirm the request is complete and ready to send.

  2. Appointment arranged

    Scheduling team

    Confirm the appointment and who follows up afterward.

  3. Report returned

    Referral coordinator

    Follow up on a missing report and route it for review.

  4. Clinician review

    Treating clinician

    Review the report and decide the next steps.

Example referral journey. Each practice’s process is different.

Free Workflow Kit

Build a clearer referral workflow.

No sign-up. No patient information.

How we begin

From the problem to a working change.

Start with the bottleneck that matters most to your team. Build on the tools you already use.

  1. 01

    Map the current path

    Understand how the work moves, where it gets stuck, and who handles each step.

  2. 02

    Check what already works

    Review your existing tools, staff responsibilities and the fixes you’ve already tried.

  3. 03

    Agree on a focused project

    Set one clear goal, an owner, a budget and a way to measure the result.

  4. 04

    Implement and review

    For an agreed project, help configure the change, test it with staff and support the handover.

Clear boundaries from day one

The practice stays in control.

Before work begins, we agree in writing on the deliverables, fees, responsibilities, access and required privacy safeguards.

  • No diagnosis, triage, or medical advice
  • No patient information through this website or ordinary email
  • No system access before a written scope and required safeguards
  • Clinical judgment always stays with the practice
Discovery conversations focus on office processes, without patient records.
