Out of Scope Referrals

How to close out-of-scope consultations and refer patients to specialists.


When This Comes Up

Sometimes a patient needs care outside your scope, or further specialist investigation.

Gesondheid lets you either generate a referral letter or close the consultation without referral.


How It Works

From the consultation status menu, choose Out of Scope. You then choose one of two paths:

1

Refer to Specialist

Generate a referral letter with specialist details and clinical context.

  • Specialist type and optional specialist name
  • Reason for referral
  • Relevant history and findings

Once generated, consultation is automatically marked out of scope with referral reason recorded.

2

Close Without Referral

Marks consultation out of scope immediately, with no referral letter generated.


After Marking Out of Scope

On the consultation

  • Status updates to Out of Scope
  • Reason is visible (for example: referred to specialist)
  • Out of Scope action is not repeated on the same consultation

In documents

Generated referral letters appear in the consultation documents list for later download or re-send.
