referral processes

A referral process involves a professional, like a doctor or counselor, recommending a client or patient to a specialist or another service for additional support or treatment. It ensures that the individual receives the appropriate expertise or care they need beyond what the initial provider can offer. The process typically includes sharing relevant information, coordinating appointments, and sometimes following up to ensure the person's needs are met effectively. This system helps optimize care by connecting people with the right resources at the right time.
