Referral/Transition of Care Revamp

I would like to see the following components/capabilities added to the Referral/Transition of Care so functionality can be increased allowing it to be utilized in other areas that do not require a CCDA.

1. Add a field for diagnosis....preferably one that can pull from the problem list.

2. Add Faxing, Mailing, and Printing of the information entered into R/TOC.

3. Allow the R/TOC to flow to Notes through a filter.

For example, one area I see this most useful is within value based and care coordination programs. We are part of multiple value based and care coordination programs, some of the programs provide supportive staff such as Community Health Workers. Currently we are sending emails or communications to these CHW's when a referral is needed and then documenting in R/TOC. With these additional components we could streamline this referral process for our providers/clinical staff.

Another area that we utilize the R/TOC outside of its original intent is ancillary procedures. If we have a patient receiving a radiology study or lab work outside of our facility, we add it to R/TOC so we can track. It would be great if we could quickly add the DX and then send it on from the R/TOC screen.

Tracking specialty providers, and ensuring providers are documenting the relationship within their notes is an important piece to capturing 340B referral claims. Many payers are also requesting this information for annual wellness visits so it just makes sense to have a filter within Notes for this.
