Why should I sponsor something that allows my GPs to refer to others digitally?

Traditional paper referrals are inefficient, error-prone, and often lead to patient drop-off. Studies show that 50% of patients never complete their referral due to lost forms, miscommunication, or delays​. By using a digital referral platform like Refera, you can ensure that referrals are sent, received, and tracked in real-time, reducing referral loss and improving patient care.

Key Benefits of Digital Referrals:

1. Higher Referral Completion Rates – Digital referrals increase completion rates to 80%, ensuring more patients follow through with their treatment​.
2. Instant & Trackable – No more guessing if a patient scheduled their specialist appointment. You get full visibility into each referral’s status​.
3. Faster & More Efficient – Send a referral in 60 seconds or less—no more paperwork, faxing, or phone calls​.
4. Better Patient Experience – Patients receive their referral immediately via text, reducing confusion and making it easier for them to schedule an appointment​.
5. Increased Revenue for Your Practice – Completed referrals mean completed treatment plans, leading to 60% more production on referred patients​.
