Configure the Create Referral Flow

Use Flow Builder to automate your referral creation process. With the Create Referral Flow, your users provide relevant patient, provider, and facility details, and the flow creates related referral records for them. Add the Create Referral flow to the Provider Search page or the Patient Account page.

Available in: Lightning Experience

Available in: Enterprise and Unlimited Editions with Health Cloud


User Permissions Needed
To open, edit, or create a flow in Flow Builder: Manage Flow

Referrals created by the Create Referral flow comprise clinical service requests, clinical service request details, and document links. The flow also creates or updates the associated patient account record. If your referral management process requires different steps, add or remove elements from the Create Referral flow. Health Cloud supports only one version of the Create Referral flow.

  1. From Setup, enter Flows in the Quick Find box, select Flows, and then click Create Referral.
    The elements for a basic referral creation flow appear in the builder.
  2. Drag any additional elements you want to use onto the canvas.
  3. Select each of the flow elements and configure the screen properties to suit your business needs.
  4. Save your flow.
  5. From the Provider Search page or the Patient Account page, add a quick action that triggers the Create Referral flow. Optionally, add the quick action to the Clinical Service Request list view.
    If you use the Crisis Support Center Management app, you can also add the Create Referral action to the Bed Search component.
    When users create a referral from a page with patient or provider information, the flow prepopulates with that information.
