How to Refer a Patient

 

Who can refer patients?

  • MUSC-affiliated attending physicians.  Referrals from mid-level providers or resident physicians shall be signed by an attending physician.  

What is needed prior to referring (scheduling) a patient?

  • A signed Collaborative Drug Therapy Management (CDTM) agreement between the attending physician and pharmacist(s).  NOTE: A CDTM agreement needs only to be  established once; it is not needed for each individual patient referral. 
  • A completed referral form.  Inpatient referrals shall occur 1 - 2 days prior to discharge to allow for timely follow-up scheduling.
