Hospitals and health systems aspire to be the primary resource for referring providers in their community for a variety of reasons. Establishing partnerships, improving the continuity of care delivery and driving business to your facilities and ancillary services are key reasons to be your community’s care coordination leader.
In order to grow your referral base and increase use of your ancillary lab services, you must increase the operational and strategic benefits to referring providers. Reducing technical barriers such as electronic management of orders and results data is one key way to increasing your appeal to providers. Your infrastructure should enable electronic sharing of orders and results data for providers with or without EHR. Offering a solution that provides actionable clinical data in a format that works with existing IT systems and practice workflows will increase your appeal to providers—and subsequent referrals from them.
Strategically, another key incentive to increase your appeal to referring providers is ensuring your solution is certified to assist providers with demonstrating Meaningful Use to quality for ARRA incentives. Providers will be much more motivated to work with partners who can help them achieve their own goals.
