The AGA worked with the ACP to identify data sets focused on conditions for which primary care physicians frequently refer patients to gastroenterologists and hepatologists.
The toolkit includes:
• A checklist for generic referral to a subspecialist practice
• A checklist for a subspecialist response to a referral request
• Relevant data sets including specific information on common conditions to ensure effective and valuable engagement
• Model care coordination agreement templates
• Recommendations for physicians seeking patient and family-centered referral patterns
