Can you assign a referral to an already scheduled appointment?

You can assign a referral to an already scheduled appointment because the EpicCare system is designed to enhance workflow efficiency by linking referrals to existing appointments without requiring the rescheduling of visits. This feature allows healthcare providers to manage patients' care more effectively by ensuring that referrals are documented and addressed during the scheduled visit, streamlining communication between providers and ensuring that patients receive the necessary care promptly.

By enabling referral assignments in this manner, the system supports continuity of care and helps maintain up-to-date patient records, which can facilitate better health outcomes. This function is particularly useful in a busy practice, where rescheduling might lead to delays in patient care or missed opportunities for necessary consultations.
