Management Information Sheet
Disability and Specialist Health Care - DASH
A single point of referral (SPOR) has been created. This will offer more efficient use of administrative resources and remove unnecessary duplication of clinical time by coordinating which professional/Team sees which patient and when.
SPOR will be the route for all referrals to any team or professional within DASH.
The majority of referrals, including all safeguarding concerns, will be forwarded to the appropriate clinical Team or professional immediately. More complex referrals will be considered at a weekly Allocation Panel.
A new Referral Form (attached) has been created. The referral form requests a set of mandatory health and biographical data. Referrers are encouraged to use the new form, although letter referrals will continue to be accepted provided the mandatory information is included. The referral form will be effective from 11 March 2013. All referrals from this date must be sent to the SPOR address below.
