How many OCCs are required for referral procedures?

The correct answer regarding the number of OCCs (Order Communication Codes) required for referral procedures is three. This requirement is in place because referrals often involve multiple steps and elements that need to be documented and communicated effectively within the EpicCare system. Having three OCCs ensures that all necessary information related to the referral is captured, including the type of referral, the specialty involved, and any specific instructions or relevant patient information. This process helps streamline the referral workflow, minimizes the chances of miscommunication, and enhances patient care by ensuring appropriate follow-up and support from the referred provider.
