Link a referral collaboration

Collaborations let you communicate with other providers inside of the system. You can link collaborations to a referral to discuss questions related to the patient's treatment or evaluation.

Linking existing collaborations allows providers to view previous communications about a patient that may include treatment challenges or suggestions.

You can only link and view collaborations that:

• Include the patient in the About Patient field.
• You are a collaborator in.

If you don't have an existing collaboration about the patient, you can start a new one from the referral. To learn more, see Add a referral collaboration.

1. Select Link Existing Collaboration
   
2. Use the search fields to find your collaborations that include the patient in the About Patient field  
   • Subject: What are keywords in the collaboration's subject line to help you find it?
   • Status: Is the collaboration open or closed?
   • Type: Are you looking for a collaboration or a task?
   • About: You cannot edit this search field. The collaboration must have the patient as the About Patient.
   • From: Who started the collaboration?
3. Select a specific collaboration from the list
