Making a Referral
Most outpatient clinic appointments can be made by calling Central Scheduling at (614) 722-6200 or (877) 722-6220, or by using the online request form. The following are recommendations for completing your referral.
Provide complete information for the following:
-
Correct spelling of name
-
Date of birth
-
Sex of patient (This is really important as it is often really difficult to determine the sex of the child based on the child’s name.)
Provide as much of the patient’s medical history as known:
-
Lab or x-ray completed
-
Results of diagnostic tests
-
You may be asked to send or fax the lab and/or x-ray reports.
Based on the information provided, staff will:
-
Triage the referral
-
Make an appointment
All of the information on the form helps the staff contact the appropriate people so that we can communicate with the patient, family, and referring physicians to provide continuity of care.
If a referral and/or authorization is needed, it is the responsibility of the referring physician’s office to provide that information to Nationwide Children’s Hospital. If the Nationwide Children’s Hospital clinic has not received the requested information two to three days prior to the appointment, the program staff will contact your office.
Radiology Moving to Epic Radiant
Nationwide Children’s will go live with Epic Radiant on Nov. 5. This exciting project will bring radiology onto the hospital EMR and will include the renaming of over 1,400 radiology procedures.
