Abstract
Referral patterns and outcome were studied in an ambulatory family practice facility. One hundred eight referrals were initiated and studied during a period when 7,220 patients were seen--a 1.5 percent referral rate. Satisfactory outcomes occurred in 67 of the cases. Changing patterns of health care delivery may require new definitions of the consulation-referral process.Entities:
