How a Behavioral Health Network Automated Referral-to-Appointment Workflows and Cut Manual Coordination by 90%

A behavioral health infrastructure company serving health plans, hospital systems, FQHCs, and school districts was growing admin overhead faster than patient volume. We built its Care Operations Portal, an automation layer connecting referral intake to clinical scheduling inside Healthie EHR, cutting per-referral coordination from 20 to 30 minutes down to 2 to 3.

88%

Depression screening rate maintained at scale

The Problem

Admin overhead was outpacing patient volume

As the company scaled, manual coordination work grew faster than the patient base, even as clinical performance stayed strong.

01
Referrals meant manual data entry

Referrals arrived through a project management tool but had to be manually entered into the EHR, one at a time.

02
Scheduling ran entirely by hand

Appointment booking had no automation layer, adding time to every referral processed.

03
No-shows and cancellations were caught after the fact

Without proactive tracking, missed and cancelled appointments were addressed reactively instead of prevented.

04
Follow-up, chart-signing, and billing coordination all ran manually

Recurring follow-up scheduling, supervisor chart-signing, and billing coordination depended on manual processes that grew faster than the patient base.

What We Built

An automation layer connecting referral intake to clinical scheduling

Referral intake and scheduling, without the manual steps

A daily extraction job pulls referrals out of the project management tool and creates patient records directly in Healthie EHR, cutting a 20 to 30 minute manual process down to 2 to 3 minutes. Admins book appointments against real-time provider availability in one click.

  • Daily automated extraction from the referral tool into Healthie EHR via GraphQL API
  • Referral status synced back to the source system automatically
  • Real-time provider availability search by specialty
  • One-click appointment booking for admin staff

Turn referral intake and scheduling into a hands-off pipeline
