Professional referral pathway
Home health, hospice, and community care teams.
A practical clinical path when nurses identify wounds, medical changes, unclear ownership, or needs that exceed the current plan.
Common reasons to refer
Use the referral to define the care problem—not just the diagnosis.
- Clarifying the active primary-care relationship
- Wound assessment, treatment planning, and escalation support
- Coordination with ordering clinicians, facilities, specialists, patients, and caregivers
- Secure movement of records after minimum public intake is reviewed
Closed-loop coordination
Referral acceptance is only the beginning.
The intended workflow is to clarify clinical fit, establish the appropriate setting and secure documentation path, and communicate the practical next step to the right people.
