New Referral System for Allied Health Professionals

Working to have the best health outcomes for our Members is something that Five Good Friends works on every day. This includes continuing to provide innovative solutions to assist our Approved Allied Health Partners including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and dietitians, to name a few.

Our New Referral System

Recently we introduced our best practice Allied Health referral system. The system was designed to assist our Approved Allied Health Professionals run their business better and at the top of their field. with increased ease, ensuring that referrals contain all the appropriate information.

Software engineers at our sister company, The Lookout Way designed a new live referral process in consultation with Allied Health Professionals. It means that that our approved Allied Health Professionals have all of the latest information we have on our Member's care plan and needs before approved partners even accept the job. They are even able to export the information as a PDF to put in your own rostering software.

It ensures our approved Allied Health professionals are able to operate at the top of their skillset with knowledge around the persons goals, other devices they are using, pre-existing medical conditions as well as key information about the person's home or pets and environment to ensure your own teams safety.

The unique live referral process also includes additional information not accessible by traditional referrals such as existing how many hours of care that the Member has.of ours may be receiving from one of our Helpers, and as As it's live you are able to see if those hours of care are increasing, or decreasing depending on the care needs and recommendations that your teams have put in place, if they are an ongoing referral.
