Escalate High-Risk Referrals
Workflow Details
Analyze referral queues across specialties to identify patients with urgent clinical indicators, apply triage rules, and automatically move these cases ahead of routine referrals for timely scheduling and provider follow-up. Sites may optionally insert a manual approval step before reordering.
What this Workflow Does
This workflow reviews referral queues for specialties such as cardiology, pulmonology, oncology, endocrinology, behavioral health, and pediatrics. It applies AI-powered triage logic to referral notes, encounter histories, labs, imaging, and prior diagnoses to detect patients at elevated risk who should not wait in a first-in, first-out system. Carebricks reorders queues accordingly, generates scheduling tasks, alerts specialty providers, and can send patient or provider notifications. If desired, health systems can insert a manual approval step before reordering or messaging. By automating urgency detection and referral prioritization, this workflow ensures patients with the most pressing needs receive timely access to specialty care, improving outcomes and reducing preventable delays.
