Updates for Inbound Users


Ability to view Draft referrals – On the Home screen, the Draft category will now include referrals that have been saved by the Referring Provider, but not yet submitted to Clarity. You may send a flagged comment to the Referring Provider’s office on these referrals.

Note: This category will also store any Referral Requests or Inbound Referrals that the Specialists office has created and Saved as Draft.

Other Minor Updates & Bug Fixes


• Email Notifications– Emails can now be delivered to email addresses external to ClarityHealth.com
• Documents added to HL7 Referrals – when documents are added to an HL7-created referral, the documents are now faxed to specialists in our directory that receive faxes
• Backdated Appointments – When entering today’s date as the Scheduled Date for a referral, you will no longer see a warning message stating this is a backdated appointment.
