What does the referral "Completion Status" indicate to providers and patients?

The referral "Completion Status" signifies that all necessary actions have been taken in the referral process, indicating that the referral is fully processed and is no longer in progress. This status assures both providers and patients that the steps required for the referral, such as approvals, scheduling, and communication, have been finalized, ensuring a smooth transition for the patient to receive the intended care or services.

This clarity on completion helps eliminate confusion regarding the status of the referral, making it easier for providers to manage patient expectations and for patients to understand that their referral has been successfully executed. Understanding this completion status is essential in maintaining continuity of care and ensuring that patients know they can proceed with the next steps in their healthcare journey.
