In the Referrals Orders template in the tabbed template set, you can place or manage orders for referrals for other specialists, locations, therapies, and durable medical equipment (DME).
When a referral includes attachments (for example, documents, NextGen® Enterprise EHR images, NextGen® Document Management images, and SAP® Crystal Reports®) that are generated during an encounter that is marked sensitive, the referral is also marked as sensitive. You are notified that sensitive information is being added to the referral and given the opportunity to continue documenting the referral with the sensitive attachment or returning to the Referral Attachments template to change the selection of attachments. Referrals Attachments is the only template enables the selection of attachments to a referral.

The confirmation only appears when there is a change to the attachments. You can go to the Referral Attachments template to make revisions at any time while documenting the referral. The Dermatology and Ophthalmology specialties have different workflows than what is described here to place a referral order.
