Urology Referrals
Referrals for elevated PSA or microhematuria arrive incomplete. Capture the values, records and history your urologists need before the visit is booked.
A man arrives for an elevated PSA and the chart holds one number with no date, no prior trend, and no record of who drew it. The visit becomes a records request and a rebooking. The information gap was created on the phone and could have been closed there.
PSA and hematuria referrals look similar on a message pad and need completely different preparation. Configured as distinct intake paths, each asks its own questions, so the urologist opens two charts that are actually ready for two different conversations.
When the referral never arrives as a document, everything depends on what the patient can tell you. Asking, at the first call, which office ordered the test and taking consent to request it turns an unpreparable visit into a records task with days of lead time.
A primary-care office that reaches a person on the first attempt refers again. One that reaches hold music twice starts sending elsewhere. Every referral line is answered in under a second, all day, with no ceiling on how many arrive at once.
Under 1 second to answer
Referring offices reach an answered line rather than a hold queue between patients
Structured referral capture
Referrer, reason, values, dates and outstanding records delivered as one task, not a message
Dozens of languages
Self-referring patients are intaked in their own language rather than lost at the first call
No. It applies the routing rules your physicians wrote to the information the caller gives. It does not stratify risk, does not grade a finding, and does not decide that one referral outranks another beyond the rules you supplied.
The referral is still captured, with the missing items flagged explicitly and the secure delivery route confirmed. Your queue sees a referral marked as awaiting records rather than a complete one that quietly is not.
Yes, where your rules allow booking before records arrive. Many practices prefer to book only after a defined minimum data set is present, and that condition can be enforced on the call. The choice is yours to configure.
As an intake conversation, not a clinical one. It records what the patient reports, captures the ordering office, and follows your routing rule. It does not tell the patient what the finding means or what evaluation he is likely to need.
In the destination you nominate: an EMR referral or task queue, a shared inbox, or a structured summary your staff file. Writeback is available through API or FHIR for supported systems, and custom integration is available where none exists.
Yes. Coverage is 24/7 with unlimited concurrency, which matters because referring offices often clear their own inbox at the end of a session, well after most specialty front desks have closed.
