If this happens, you can complete the task via Patient Context as follows by either:

  • Selecting the patient in Consultation Manager, logging on to WCCG and selecting Message - Referral. The incomplete referral displays in the Referrals Worklist with a status of In Progress. Select it and complete the outstanding task(s), or

  • From Consultation Manager, close all consultations, select Summary – WCCG. From the WCCG – Home screen, select the link that says you have a certain number of referrals in progress. This takes you to the filtered WCCG worklist that displays only the referrals In Progress. Select the patient required and complete the outstanding task(s).

    Alternatively, you can select Message - Referral. The unfiltered list of referrals displays, including submitted referrals. Select the patient required with the status of In Progress from the work list and complete the outstanding task.
