Frequently Asked Questions

What are the preferred integration interfaces for ReferralMD?2024-04-18T15:08:41-07:00

Standard interfaces such as HL7 or FHIR are best suited when ReferralMD or the third-party system should be automatically updated based on certain actions in ReferralMD or in the third-party system such as changes to patient demographics, new orders, referral status updates, new consult reports, etc.

How to increase referral conversion rate?2025-06-17T08:22:26-07:00

Increasing your referral conversion rate starts with streamlining communication, reducing referral leakage, and improving follow-up speed. ReferralMD helps you do exactly that by automating referral workflows, ensuring referrals are routed to the right provider the first time, and tracking every referral step in real time.

With ReferralMD, you can:

  • Automate referral intake from fax, email, and EHR systems

  • Reduce no-shows with smart reminders and appointment tracking

  • Eliminate lost referrals through centralized referral management

  • Gain insights from referral analytics to optimize performance

These features help close the loop faster, improve patient follow-through, and increase your referral-to-appointment conversion rate.

How does the implementation process work?2024-03-07T13:44:35-08:00

We offer email/phone support, on-site implementation, and training.

IT EFFORT (INTEGRATION, INSTALLATION, SETUP, AND DEPLOYMENT)
ReferralMD is a cloud-based application that is securely installed on a HIPAA compliant cloud service provider. This enables our customers to use ReferralMD without installing any software, or purchasing and provisioning any servers.

ReferralMD will be served from the cloud service provider as an Internet-based application that is streamed over a secure socket layer (SSL), which enables it to be accessed from anywhere, anytime, and from any device.

Since ReferralMD is self-contained and does not depend on the IT environment at the hospital, no integration or deployment effort is required. This allows ReferralMD IT staff to monitor and support all of the services offered proactively, and without disruption to service.

The deployment model mentioned above also allows ReferralMD to automatically apply updates and upgrades to the centralized server without disruption of service, or our customer’s IT staff involvement.

INTEGRATION WITH EMR
If the customer chooses to, ReferralMD can be made to interface with EMRs using smart form field exchange via web services and HL7, and non-smart form field exchange via custom stored procedures. Additional fees will apply.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
To design the Implementation Plan, ReferralMD will conduct a series of meetings with internal stakeholders to collect input on customization preferences, potential challenges, and key facilitators to the implementation process.

During the process, we will discuss and document:
• Training your staff and physicians
• Best practices to drive adoption
• Key Partners: The stakeholders within the institution who are needed to make the implementation go smoothly
• Key Activities: The process by which ReferralMD will need to integrate with existing systems
• Cost Structure: The estimated time and cost of implementation

Can ReferralMD tell me how long each referral takes?2024-03-18T23:12:02-07:00

Service Level report shows the average time referrals stay in each phase of the workflow and calculates the following metrics for the practice and per provider:

  • Process Time: the time between referral receipt and when staff schedules appointment with the patient
  • Wait Time: the time between referral receipt and patient’s appointment date
  • Report Time: the time between appointment date and when consult report is sent to the referring provider
How do I grow my physician network and generate more referrals?2025-07-14T21:43:11-07:00

Stand apart from the competition in your city by using modern technology to care for your colleagues’ patients when they need a referral. It is as simple as inviting new and existing referral sources to join your network.

By providing your referral sources with more effective means of communication (2-way messaging, HIPAA compliant file exchange, and a full patient tracking system) you will stay top of mind when it comes time for a referral, leading to an increased patient volume and higher ROI.

Suppose you are looking to grow your referral network and generate more patient volume. In that case, we offer a platform that allows you to invite referral sources and instantly connect to their network of providers, greatly increasing the number of physician relationships and referrals.
It is time to stop using antiquated referral pads and excel spreadsheets to track the value of your provider network.  Update to referralMD.
