BedWatch® Community Gateway makes it easier for hospitals to build engagement with their external community of providers by providing an easy to use branded web referral portal.
BedWatch® Community Gateway allows outside providers to make patient referral requests which are then immediately visible to internal hospital staff. In addition to helping speed the doctor-to-doctor calls, the status updates related to the acceptance decision are immediately communicated back to the referrer. The result is better visibility and faster acceptance for referrers, and increased overall referral volume for the accepting facility.
Referrers get their own tracker. They can see the status of their referral requests in real time as the accepting provider is processing their referral.
Email or Print Tracker. Referrers often like to have a record of their referrals that they can add to their records. They can easily email or print the tracker.
Referrers get faster feedback and spend less time on the phone. Real-time updates provide full transparency regarding the status of all referrals. The translates to less time coordinating over the phone.
