# Referral from the clinic to the hospital

A primary care clinic in Ontario refers patients to the regional hospital. Each lane is the team that owns the step.

```mermaid
swimlane
    subgraph gp[Family doctor]
        Exam[Examine patient] --> Refer[Write referral]
    end
    subgraph admin[Clinic office]
        Send[Send referral]
        Book[Tell patient the date]
    end
    subgraph hospital[Hospital clinic]
        Triage[Triage referral] --> Slot[Offer appointment]
    end
    Refer --> Send
    Send --> Triage
    Slot --> Book
```

The clinic office follows up when the hospital has not offered a date within ten working days.
