Referral-to-Specialist Workflow
Specialist referrals break when records are incomplete, attachments are forgotten, or the patient leaves without clear next steps. This workflow packages X-rays, perio charts, referral notes, and contact information the moment a referral is issued, then sends the patient a simple introduction so they actually book with the endodontist, oral surgeon, or orthodontist.
How It Works
Trigger from the referral decision
When the dentist selects a specialist referral in the chart, the workflow captures the specialty type, urgency, and reason for referral.
Bundle the supporting records
Relevant radiographs, notes, treatment history, and referral forms are gathered and attached to a secure outbound packet.
Notify both the specialist and patient
The specialist office receives the case package while the patient gets a warm handoff message with the specialist's contact details and why the referral matters.
Tools & Platforms
Key Benefits

In Practice
When a patient needs an endodontist for root canal therapy, the office immediately sends the referring note and PA image and the patient receives the specialist contact details before leaving the parking lot.
