REFERRAL

Break the fax pile

The records arrive
before the patient does

A referral is either complete or it costs you the visit. Rovio takes the fax line, checks every pile against the specialty’s checklist, and chases down whatever is missing.

Here’s how

A fax comes in. A schedulable patient comes out.

Nine steps. The model does two — parse and check. The rest is fax infrastructure, a checklist, a state machine, and escalation rules. Delete the model and the product still stands up.

  1. 01

    The fax line becomes ours

    Forty pages land from the referring office. Nobody prints, sorts, or carries them anywhere.

    Intake

  2. 02

    Every page read, coordinates kept

    Text layer first, OCR on the rest. Each field carries its page and bounding box, so every answer is one click from its source.

    Extraction

  3. 03

    Checked against the specialty's requirements

    Spine first, GI next. Each requirement resolves to present, ambiguous, or missing — with a citation, not an impression.

    Checklist engine

  4. 04

    The missing document is requested by name

    Not a generic records blast. A fax asking for the lumbar MRI report, the path results, the six weeks of conservative therapy.

    Outbound

  5. 05

    Followed up on a timer

    retries ×2

    Two automatic follow-ups before anything escalates. Every attempt and timeout survives a restart.

    State machine

  6. 06

    Resolved, or handed over with a reason

    It turns ready to schedule on its own, or lands on a coordinator's desk with the exact point where the loop failed.

    Escalation

  7. 07

    The referring office hears back

    The visit outcome and follow-up instructions route to the PCP automatically. They stop calling to ask.

    Close the loop

  8. The visit happens once, with the records in the room.

    No wasted appointment, no rebooking three months out, no morning on hold.

The determination

Three answers, none of them a guess

  • Present

    It is in the pile, and we can show you the page.

  • Ambiguous

    Something close turned up. A person confirms it.

  • Missing

    Nothing matched. A records request leaves on its own.

Capabilities

Everything the coordinator was doing by hand

01Referral catalog

Every referral waiting to be scheduled, in one list

The front desk works out of a queue instead of a fax tray — one row per patient, its state, its age, and the one thing it is waiting on.

  • Sorted by what is blocking, not by arrival
  • Filter: incomplete, chasing, ready, escalated
  • SLA timers visible before anything goes stale
02Records retrieval

Labs and scans collected without a phone call

When the checklist says the imaging or path results are missing, the request goes out named and specific — and keeps going until it is answered.

  • Document-specific requests to the right office
  • Automatic follow-ups, timeouts, escalation rules
  • Responses matched back to the open request
03Patient history

One readable page from the whole pile

History, imaging, prior therapy, and medications on a single view — every line traceable to the page it came from.

  • Ready before the patient is in the room
  • Click any fact to open its highlighted source
  • Nothing asserted that cannot be pointed at
04Bidirectional comms

The visit reported back to the referring office

A referral is a loop, and it does not end at the appointment. The outcome goes back down the same fax line it came in on.

  • Post-visit note routed to the referring office
  • Delivery confirmed, failures retried and recorded
  • They stop chasing your front desk for updates
