Evaluate patient data and recommend patient referral based on specific criteria.

Description I:

The system assists evaluation of certain patient conditions which may lead to a recommendation for referral, for example, for smoking cessation counseling if the patient is prescribed a medication to support cessation screening or assessment for behavioral health conditions. Additionally the system may present recommendations based on other orders – for example, an order for Adriamycin, where additional testing such as a MUGA (heart) scan or an Echocardiogram should be completed prior to administration, could result in a recommended referral to radiology, and/or cardiology.

Criteria N:

CPS.4.6.2#01 | SHALL | The system SHALL determine and present recommendations for potential referrals based on patient factors or guidelines including: clinical guidelines, jurisdictionally-based guidelines, patient diagnosis(es), and/or patient condition (e.g., for smoking cessation counseling if the patient smokes cigarettes or other tobacco products or was prescribed a medication to support smoking cessation).
