By giving the patient a request form it acts as a reminder to the patient that they have to do something. I have some patients who asks for a hard copy of path results. The fact that I showed them on PC screen & told them it's normal, is not good enough. If I send an electronic referral to a specialist, tell the patient you are seeing Dr Jo Bloggs on 13/04/2006 at 13h.00 and then patient leaves, and forgets to go to specialist, the lawyers will have a great time when patient says "but the Doctor never gave me a referral letter. If he had I would've remembered to go". Patients will take my referral for X-rays and stick it on the fridge and go when they like.
