Referral expectations

The referral should lead to acknowledgement, triage, and communication back rather than disappearing into a queue.

Referral acknowledgement is the first response, not the end of the workflow.
Intake triages the right clinic or home-based pathway after the key information is gathered.
Communication back should reflect goals, progress, and any need to change direction.
