In plain English
This means the referral document has arrived with the provider or organisation the patient is being sent to. It names that receipt as a status, not any later action on the referral.
In context
Here, it communicates that the clinic has received the patient's referral document.
- Situation
- Booking appointments, checking in, joining waitlists, and handling referrals
- What it communicates
- status showing the clinic has received the referral
Meaning limits
By itself, this status does not show anything beyond receipt of the referral document by the intended provider or organisation.
Examples
“By Friday, his referral was marked as referral received at the specialist centre, but no one there had reviewed it yet.”
“The clinic called later to confirm referral received for Daniel's knee assessment.”
