Professional and community referral pathway

Refer someone to Reach One

A referral should lead to a completed next step—not disappear into a mailbox. Reach One’s referral architecture names the receiver, protects information, documents the decision, and tracks the handoff.

Referral workflow

  1. 01

    Confirm current service status

    Review whether the requested service is active, enrolling, in development, or readiness-gated.

  2. 02

    Use the approved secure channel

    Clinical information and records move through the contracted secure system—not WordPress or ordinary email.

  3. 03

    Acknowledge ownership

    A named access role confirms receipt, records the referral source, and communicates the next expected step.

  4. 04

    Screen and assess

    Reach One reviews safety, consent authority, eligibility, level of care, clinical need, and operational fit.

  5. 05

    Admit, redirect, or complete a handoff

    The outcome is documented and communicated. When another service is needed, Reach One applies the completed-handoff standard.

What referral partners should be prepared to confirm

Identity and authority

Who is referring, relationship to the person, consent/ROI authority, guardian/custody status when applicable.

Reason for referral

Observable needs, functioning, urgency, requested assistance, and known safety concerns—through the secure workflow.

Current providers and systems

Relevant treatment, medical, school, court, child welfare, housing, peer, or other involved systems with consent.

Access needs

Language, disability, transportation, technology, schedule, caregiver, location, and financial barriers.

Coverage and authorization

Coverage information through the secure system and any known authorization/referral requirements.

Communication plan

Who receives status updates, within what consent boundary, and what constitutes closure.

Source and publication control

Designed from Reach One’s controlled planning record

This page is generated from the Reach One website/strategic planning package, SPW readiness baseline, executive decision register, program-design materials, and website build charter. Production publication still requires current evidence, named approval, workflow testing, and a rollback path for any claim that can change.
