Referral Intake: Connect intake with adherence
April 13, 2026Bruna Dos Santos
Q. How can intake set the stage for materially improved patient outcomes?
A. Most HME teams measure intake success by speed and order volume. Those metrics matter, but they do not reflect whether the patient actually benefits from the equipment.

Intake is where patient adherence begins. Equipment delivered without proper education is often unused, but the issue goes deeper...
Referral Intake: Keep it simple
March 16, 2026Bruna Dos Santos
Q. What are the keys to building and maintaining referral relationships?
A. Revenue and patient efficacy are heavily impacted by referral relationships.

And a negative or positive experience can affect your reputation...

Despite documentation being present, it may be incomplete, inconsistent or misaligned with how the order will ultimately be processed and billed. Because...
Referral Intake: Clean up before you automate

Q. What needs to be true operationally for automation to actually improve a DME intake process?
A. Automation is an amplifier. It speeds up what is already working or exposes what is not. If intake workflows rely on tribal knowledge, outdated SOPs or inconsistent naming, automation will only make those problems move faster.
Teams need to start by cleaning up before they automate. That means documenting the intake workflow end to end, agreeing on what “done” means...
