Saint Joseph’s/Candler Selects ReferralMD for its Referral Management and Patient Leakage Solution

SAN FRANCISCO – ReferralMD, a leader in referral management, patient access, and e-consult solutions for health systems, today announced that St. Joseph’s/Candler in Savannah, Georgia has selected the company’s enterprise platform to enhance communication, reduce patient leakage, and speed its referral workflow across its two hospitals and 13 practice groups with future expansion of its ACO, Advocate Health Network.

The Georgia-based system will utilize ReferralMD to create a standardized process across the entire continuum and will eventually help integrate up to 18 different EHRs creating a common communication platform to bridge electronic consults and referrals.

Highly regarded as the premier health provider in the region, St. Joseph’s/Candler (SJ/C) needed help managing different patient and referral data across their primary care practices and had no system in place to benchmark referral leakage.  Given the potential expansion of their Central Referral Office to assist with referral management for their ACO it was important to find a solution that would streamline the workflow and provide accurate and up-to-date tracking of the referral process.
