Treatment referral

Treatment referral refers to the process of directing a patient to a specialist or a specific healthcare service for further evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment when their condition requires expertise beyond that of their primary care provider. This ensures the patient receives the appropriate care tailored to their needs. Referrals can involve a variety of services, including specialists in fields like cardiology or oncology, physical therapy, mental health services, or rehabilitation programs. The goal is to provide comprehensive care that improves the patient's health outcomes.
