Abstract

Referral feedback mechanisms play a crucial role in enhancing the quality of referrals from family medicine to radiology and dental clinics. This review article aims to explore the impact of various feedback mechanisms on the referral process and patient outcomes. The literature suggests that effective feedback systems improve communication between referring physicians and specialists, leading to more appropriate referrals, reduced wait times, and improved patient care. Additionally, feedback mechanisms can help identify areas for improvement in the referral process, such as unnecessary tests or delays in treatment initiation. This review synthesizes current evidence on the benefits of feedback mechanisms in enhancing the quality of referrals and highlights key strategies for implementing successful feedback systems in family medicine practices.
