What is the initial action to start a rehab referral in the EHR workflow?

• A. Click Referrals
• B. Click Incoming
• C. Click New
• D. Search for patient's name

Answer: (A)

Opening the Referrals section is the first step because rehab referrals are created and managed within that part of the EHR. The Referrals area serves as the hub for starting a new referral, tracking its progress, and routing it to the appropriate team. After you’re in that module, you would typically click New to begin entering the rehab referral details. Jumping straight to searching for the patient isn’t the initial action to start the referral, since you need to be in the referrals workflow first; viewing incoming referrals shows items others have sent to you, not how you initiate a new one.
