SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Referral letters are rejected far more often for missing information than for clinical reasons, costing patients weeks of delay. This Skill assembles a complete, structured referral from the patient record and loudly flags every field the notes cannot fill, so gaps are fixed before submission rather than after rejection. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Referral Assembly: Organizes the record into the standard referral sections: reason for referral, relevant history, medications, allergies, examination findings, investigations with dates and results, the request to the receiving service, and urgency. - Explicit Gap Marking: Inserts [MISSING: ...] placeholders for any field the record cannot support instead of omitting or softening incomplete information. - Criterion-Based Urgency: States the clinical criterion that justifies urgency (e.g., a two-week pathway rationale) rather than the bare word "urgent", so the referral survives triage. - Use Case: A GP needs to refer a patient with unexplained weight loss and a palpable mass. The Skill drafts the full referral from the notes, marks the missing family history field, and phrases the urgency as the two-week pathway criterion. ## Quick Start Draft a referral letter to gastroenterology from this patient's consultation notes, marking any information the record does not contain.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft a referral letter from patient notes?▼

Provide the consultation notes or record and the Skill assembles the standard sections: reason for referral, history, medications, allergies, examination findings, investigations with dates, the request to the receiving service, and urgency with its justification.

What sections should a clinical referral letter include?▼

A complete referral includes the reason for referral, relevant history, current medications, allergies, examination findings, investigations already done with dates and results, what is being asked of the receiving service, and urgency with the reason for it.

How are missing fields handled in the referral draft?▼

Any field the record cannot fill is inserted as a [MISSING: ...] placeholder rather than being omitted or softened. This prevents a referral that looks complete but is not from wasting a rejection cycle.

How should urgency be stated in a referral letter?▼

State the clinical criterion that makes the referral urgent, not the word alone. For example, "two-week pathway: unexplained weight loss with a palpable mass" survives triage, while the bare word "urgent" does not.

What are the limitations of drafting referrals from notes?▼

The Skill never infers findings that are not documented, carries forward investigation results without their dates, or sets an urgency the notes do not support. Fields absent from the record are marked as missing rather than fabricated.
