Release 5.0 Functionality Support for Alternative Care Pathways - Referrers The following slides give examples of how this functionality might be used: • Prior assessment services • Tertiary or specialist secondary care services • Initial Referral (authorised referrers) • Practice Based Commissioning model (authorised organisations)
Prior Assessment Model The pathway is via the Newtown MSK Assessment Service. This service is an authorised service. Referrals received into this service are triaged and/or treated. Those referrals that are clinically appropriate can be referred on to the relevant restricted service. GPs wishing to send referrals to the restricted services will be directed to refer via the authorised service. Under local commissioning arrangements, Newtown Hospital provide an Orthotic Service and Village Hospital a specialised Podiatric Service with Surgical Input. Newtown PCT provide a community Physiotherapy service. These services are restricted and do not accept referrals direct from GPs.
