Inter-Facility Health Referral Network

Referrals from barangay health stations to RHUs to district and provincial hospitals with the patient's summary traveling ahead of the patient — and a return-referral loop so the RHU learns what happened after the ambulance left. The paper referral slip that gets lost en route becomes a record every facility can see.

Typically bought by: Provincial Health Officer, hospital chiefs, Municipal Health Officers, RHU physicians
