Where are OCC-Referrals linked in the system?

In the EpicCare system, OCC-Referrals are linked within the Procedure category under the order composer configuration screen. This is because the order composer allows for the customization of orders that can include different procedures and their associated referrals. By managing referrals in this section, users can streamline the process of placing orders for procedures while ensuring that any necessary referrals are incorporated into the workflow. This integration helps improve efficiency and ensures that patients receive all relevant services as part of their care management.

The patient management screen is generally more focused on overall patient information rather than specific configurations for procedure-related orders. The referrals dashboard is primarily used for monitoring and managing existing referrals rather than linking them to specific orders. Similarly, the conclusion of patient assessments might involve making referrals but does not serve as the initial linkage point within the order configuration settings. Thus, the configuration area is the most logical and effective location for linking OCC-Referrals within the system.
