- The doctor has their patient tap their phone to the Bright Card. - The patient sees everything they need about the referring doctor. - The patient can schedule, save information, ask the new doctor to follow-up, and more, all right on their phone. - The doctor referring can request the new doc follow-up for patient notes. - The doctor receiving the referral sees all of this happening in real time and can plan and prep for this new patient. It is seamless, simple, and trackable. Doctors have been using the same referral "system" for 100s of years. For the first time, Bright Referral allows doctors to take control of such an important aspect of their practice in a way that benefits everybody.
