Tracking patient flow and care coordination is difficult Referral workflows are not consistent Care teams do not have necessary information to make the best recommendation Sooner scheduled, more likely to go Network management is key in risk-based reimbursement arrangements
As a result:
Patients seek care inappropriately, or not at all System loses patients to competitors Receiving provider does not have necessary information Patient hit with out of network cost based on referring provider recommendation
