# How can a practice or service team use AI so incoming referrals are captured, checked and queued instead of sitting unread?

List where referrals arrive today, such as shared inboxes, portals and scanned forms, and agree an intake checklist for each service. AI reads new referrals from those approved sources only, captures the administrative details with a note of where each came from, checks the paperwork against the checklist, and queues complete referrals for scheduling. Incomplete ones go to the intake team with a list of what is missing, and clinical or service staff make every decision about priority and suitability.

## What this means in practice

- List every place referrals arrive and read only from approved sources.
- Agree an intake checklist for each service.
- Capture administrative details with a note of their source.
- Queue complete referrals and route incomplete ones with what is missing.
- Keep every decision about priority and suitability with staff.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.

## See it as a workflow

- [Referral intake tracking](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/referral-intake-tracking/): Read incoming referrals from email, portals or scanned forms, capture the administrative details, check that the required paperwork is attached, and queue each referral for scheduling staff, so fewer referrals sit unread or incomplete.
