Label each page with the patient's name, date of birth, and record number. Direct the cover sheet to the correct Hospice & Community Care office and include a number staff can call. With identifiers and destination clear, nothing gets misrouted. Complete, legible identifiers are what move the request fastest.
The machines accept faxes around the clock; staff processing depends on the office. The offices that handle referrals and records keep standard weekday hours. Urgent referrals and comfort-care orders reach the on-call clinician at any hour regardless of the office schedule. Plan routine requests for a weekday morning when the office is fully staffed.

Verifying the office and the line up front is the honest shortcut. Skip the stale listing and confirm the line at the source.
