How Do I Refer A Patient Case?

DermEngine allows you to refer patient cases to colleagues in your network. There are two different ways you can send a case to another physician: Referring and Sharing.

When referring a patient's case, you are sending it with the intention of receiving a diagnosis from that physician. In contrast, sharing a patient's case is useful for providing another provider with useful information without expecting any action or consultation.
