Background
Why did Coastal Fertility decide to make a change?
They started looking for a referral management platform when their old system was sunsetting. They were looking for a solution to not only help organize incoming referrals but also track the referrals’ progress and automatically close the loop with referring physicians.
What else did they want to accomplish?
Coastal Fertility wanted to minimize the number of patient no-shows so they need help with patient communication. In addition, they liked that ReferralMD would automatically send appointment reminder texts or emails to patients.
Prior to implementing ReferralMD, what other problems did their team face?
Coastal needed a system that would allow them to track referrals from referring physicians but also wanted to analyze the data.
Coastal Fertility wanted to track:
- where the referral originated
- type of patient being referred
- whether the patient attended their appointment or was a no-show
They also wanted to track the geographic area that our referrals come from due to the fact that they have five locations with referring physicians in these areas. They also wanted a system that communicated the appointment to the patient.
Implementation
What features of the solution does Coastal Fertility use?
The CRM Tools & Analytics feature. They wanted to track the geographic areas that referrals come from for their five locations to better connect with referring physicians and patient self-referrals. The other feature that they rely on quite a bit is real-time access to the custom reporting features and the metrics gained from that have become invaluable to their practice and helps to provide excellent patient care.
How was the implementation process?
ReferralMD was able to load the exported data from Coastal Fertility’s previous system. In addition, ReferralMD successfully integrated with FormSite and Allscript’s PM System to streamline workflows at Coastal Fertility.
