Referring Physician
Management Dashboard (RPMD)
In the tree house, two cans and a string were all you needed.
A hospital needs something a bit more sophisticated.
When clinicians communicate, patients are safer. Yet one survey said…68% of specialists received no information from the PCP prior to specific referral visits; 38% of them said that information would have been helpful. What if your hospital could provide that needed information? It can—with Referring Physician Management Dashboard (RPMD), built on Carefx’s Fusion interoperability platform.
RPMD covers both inpatient and outpatient settings. In both, the referring physician can compile clinical data, search for the responsible physician, send the clinical data and wait for the consult note or continuity of care document from inpatient stays. With RPMD, the physician can find specialists, book appointments online, communicate with them in the form and format needed and proactively track referrals from beginning to end. With RPMD’s easy to use communication features and follow-up tools hospital-based physicians can get the information they need—when they need it.
By improving the accessibility of information and expediting its turnaround, RPMD increases hospital and clinic patient volume. RPMD also improves productivity, saving physicians time by automating multiple steps in the referring physician communication loop. The result: More specialist consultation completion and better quality of care.
Management reporting is easy. Hospitals and specialty clinics can view referring pattern trends and identify significant changes in terms of volume or diagnosis. This data helps the hospital network marketing team design outreach programs to selected referring physician groups. Proactive follow up on referrals, consultant assessment and discharge plans reduces liability.
RPMD helps improve the strength of your community network by improving the experience patients and physicians have with your network.
