Combine the documents into one job so they stay in order, and save the transmission receipt.

Continuing-therapy and home-health orders from Carrus Rehabilitation Hospital

Discharge orders from Carrus Rehabilitation Hospital — the therapy plan, the equipment needs, and the follow-up appointments — are faxed to the next provider so the transition does not drop the plan of care. Include the follow-up appointments and the therapy plan so the receiving team can coordinate. Flag an urgent home-health need so services are set up before discharge.

The pre-admission-screening path at Carrus Rehabilitation Hospital

Because Carrus Rehabilitation Hospital admits patients transferring from acute care, a referral arrives as a faxed screening packet with the history and recent notes so the physiatrist can review it and make the admission decision. Confirm whether the referral goes to pre-admission screening, the admissions liaison, or the front desk before you send. Flag an anticipated discharge date so the screening is worked in time.
