The Problem

A manual referral is a missed referral.

76% of practices are still managing referrals with EHRs and spreadsheets. Staff spend over half their time on intake and repetitive follow-up. The result: referrals stall, drop, or disappear entirely.

Our Solution

One platform to work every referral.

Manage the whole process from intake to insight, without adding staff.

01

AI Document Processing

Referrals arrive as faxes, PDFs, emails, and portal submissions. Hatch reads, extracts, and classifies every document automatically, eliminating manual data entry with human-in-the-loop review.

02

Centralized Referral Queue

Every referral lives in one place. Your team sees status, urgency, location, follow-up dates, and partner source at a glance, replacing inboxes, spreadsheets, paper notes, and portals.

03

Automated Patient & Partner Notifications

Update and coordinate with patients without picking up the phone. Close the loop and give referring partners real-time visibility into their referrals, automatically.

04

Bidirectional EHR Integration

Changes in Hatch sync to your EHR. Clinical teams never have to log into Hatch. Your EHR stays the system of record while referral teams work in Hatch.

05

Referral Performance Insights

Spot stalled referrals before they become lost revenue. Identify where volume leaks, track team productivity, and report on performance across every stage of the referral process.

06

Partner Referral Portals

Referring partners submit referrals through dedicated portals and track status without calling your team. Loop closure happens automatically, with no more phone tag.

The Platform

Every referral, in one place

Hatch gives your team a single, structured view of every referral from intake to close, with status, urgency, partner, and follow-up dates always visible.

Why Hatch

Purpose-built for referrals.

The EHR wasn't built for referral management. It was built for clinical documentation and billing. Hatch is built around the referral as a first-class object, with its own lifecycle, status, and communications.

Referral-first architecture

The referral is a true record in Hatch, not a scattered mix of documents and orders in the EHR.

Bidirectional EHR integration

Changes in Hatch sync to the EHR. Your EHR stays the system of record.

A great experience for everyone

Automated updates keep patients informed and close the loop with referring partners, without more phone calls.

Scale without adding staff

Process more referrals with less time per referral. Hatch adds capacity without adding headcount.
