What is healthcare referral management software?

Healthcare referral management software is a digital platform that helps hospitals and health systems track, route, and manage patient referrals. It replaces manual fax and phone-based processes with automated workflows, reducing referral leakage and improving care coordination.

What is ReferralPoint?

ReferralPoint is an AI-powered referral management software platform designed for hospitals and healthcare companies. It automates patient referral routing, tracks referral outcomes, reduces referral leakage, and integrates with existing EHR systems to streamline care coordination for mid-market and enterprise health systems.

How does AI improve patient referral management?

AI improves patient referral management by intelligently matching patients to the most appropriate in-network specialists based on payer coverage, geography, wait times, and clinical criteria. AI can also flag referrals at risk of being lost, automate follow-up communication, and surface analytics on referral patterns.

What is referral leakage in healthcare?

Referral leakage occurs when a patient referred by a primary care physician or hospital leaves the health system's network and receives care from an out-of-network provider. This can cost health systems millions in lost revenue annually. Referral management software like ReferralPoint helps reduce leakage by automating in-network routing and tracking referral completion.

Is ReferralPoint HIPAA compliant?

Yes, ReferralPoint is built on a HIPAA-compliant infrastructure designed to meet the security and privacy requirements of healthcare organizations handling protected health information (PHI).

Does ReferralPoint integrate with EHR systems?

ReferralPoint integrates with major EHR systems including Epic, Cerner, and Athenahealth, allowing hospitals to initiate and track referrals directly from existing clinical workflows.

Who is ReferralPoint designed for?

ReferralPoint is designed for mid-market and enterprise healthcare organizations, including hospitals, health systems, and multi-specialty practices that need to manage high volumes of patient referrals and reduce referral leakage.
