Case Management process
The Case Management workflow available in Meddbase can be described as a series of encounters with an employee, initiated by a referral.
The diagram below illustrates the process.
The process can be summarised as shown in the table below.
| Process Step | Explanation |
| A referral comes into Meddbase from the referrer. This could be either sent electronically via the Referral Portal or created on behalf of the referrer by a Meddbase user. | |
| Once the referral has been received a work item is generated for a Meddbase user to process. The referral goes through stages of collaboration, acceptance/rejection, and booking. | |
| A successful referral will result in an appointment being booked. This appointment becomes the home for all clinical findings during the patient encounter. | |
| Report Writing | Completion of any appointment created from an occupational health referral results in a report being written. The report process has many optional routes but will eventually result in the report being sent to the employee and referrer (if authorised). |
| Completed reports may go through an authorisation phase whereby the employee reviews the document and either accepts or refuses the content. | |
| Assuming this is not the last planned encounter with this employee, a follow-up referral is created. This action leaves the case ‘open’ and begins the cycle again from the ‘Referral Processing’ phase. |
