AI Referral Management for Medical Practices: Closing the Loop
Referral leakage — a referral sent but the patient never actually books or shows up — is a common, quietly expensive problem in medical practices, especially those relying on specialist or provider-to-provider referrals.
AI referral management tracks a referral from the moment it's sent through to booking and completed visit, automatically following up with the patient if they haven't scheduled within an expected window, and flagging referrals that go completely cold so staff can intervene manually before the relationship or the patient is lost.
