Extend coordinated care beyond the clinical encounter.

Track referral acceptance, scheduling, service completion, returned information, and follow-up ownership. Administrative closure is distinct from clinical service completion; the referring team remains responsible for reviewing returned information.

01 · The Operational Breakdown

A referral leaves the encounter and disappears. Physician organizations can see what was ordered but not whether the service was delivered, by whom, or whether the patient was ready for it.

02 · Why It Fails

Make the handoff, responsible team, and unresolved requirement visible.

01

Referrals are tracked as orders, not as execution with ownership.

02

Community resources and family readiness are invisible to the referring organization.

03

Network leakage shows up later as cost, not as a coordinated gap to close.

04

Follow-up depends on manual callbacks that don't scale across a panel.

04 · What Leadership Can Measure

Measures to evaluate with your team.

01

Referrals reaching the defined milestone with completion evidence

02

Orders without provider-confirmed delivery at the review date

03

Days from order to recorded service completion by service

04

Referrals routed outside the agreed network by service line

05

Follow-up completed after confirmed service delivery

06

Care-gap tasks completed with evidence across the defined panel

Define the reporting period and population for each indicator. Measure elapsed time between the stated events and require recorded provider or responsible-team confirmation; an administrative closure is not evidence of clinical service completion. These are measures to evaluate, not customer results.
