Adding a Referral within Client Details

The information captured in Bp Allied about a referral is entirely upto the business entering in the information. However, if the referral information is to be included in an Invoice then it would seem prudent to capture the Referrer, Referral Date and the Referrers Provider Number.

Current Referral tick box

3. Current Referral tick box
There is now an option for whether ONE or multiple referrals can be selected as current for a client. Because of the increase in multi-disciplinary practices it has become necessary in some cases for a client to have more than one referral.
 
This is managed using the practice-wide option of Allow Multiple Current Referrals.
 
If Allow Multiple current referrals is NOT selected, then the following will occur:
·     There can be only ONE Current Referral
·     When the Current Referral box is ticked then this is the trigger that will attach it to an appointment by default
 
If Allow Multiple current referrals IS selected, then the following will occur:
·     There can be only more than one Current Referral
·     The referral with the latest Referral Date that is also ticked as a Current Referral will attach itself to an appointment by default
