Referrals (Analytics Report)

Referrals Report is an Analysis Grid style report that allows you to manage both Physician and marketing referral sources and includes SOAP 1.0 and 2.0 data. You can also gain insight into which referrals have or have not converted, calculate the average time to conversion, or learn more about commonly referred diagnosis codes.

The Primary Treatment Clinic column will display (Unassigned) if the Primary Treatment Clinic was not selected when the case was created and the Clinic Setting for Primary Treatment Clinic is not turned on. This field will automatically populate with the Initial Evaluation Clinic when the IE is finalized. However, there may be instances where the Primary Treatment Clinic and the Initial Evaluation Clinic are not the same locations.

The Initial Evaluation Clinic field will display (Unassigned) until the Initial Evaluation is finalized. You cannot prevent the Unassigned value from appearing in this column. This field is how you can tell that a referral has not yet been converted. Consider grouping by this column and using the Aggregate > Count function to determine how many unconverted referrals you have for the selected Date Range.
You can learn more about time to conversion by looking at the Referral Received Date, Case Creation Date, and the Initial Evaluation date. This does require your clinic to create cases as soon as you have enough information (ideally prior to the patient’s arrival), and accurately input the referral received date.

Primary Treatment Clinic

If you encounter a lot of data classified as (Unassigned) when looking at the Referrals Analysis grid, it indicates the patient is not converted. This happens when the primary treatment clinic was not designated when creating the case and the initial evaluation has not yet occurred. Want to avoid (Unassigned) data points? Require the collection of the primary treatment clinic when the case is created in your clinic settings.

Referral Received Date

The Referral Received Date field defaults to the date the case was created. It is extremely important that your staff actually inputs the date you received the referral so that you can accurately track metrics such as Average Days Seen After Referral, which can tell you a lot about your scheduling practices and availability. The referral will be allocated to a particular month based on the Referral Received Date (or Case Creation Date if the Referral Received Date was not added).
