The Referrals Out feature in the AWARDS Discharge module is an optional database enhancement that provides a secondary point of access to the Services  - Individual module's Service Referrals feature.  Using Referrals Out/Service Referrals, case managers and counselors can quickly and easily record outgoing referrals being made for a consumer, and view reports on those referrals.

Required Permissions

Staff in programs for which the Referrals Out feature has been turned on must have the following permissions in order to use it:

Program Chart Access
Display Any Chart Records Buttons
Display Chart Records Discharge Button
Display Chart Records Services - Individual Button (only required in order to also access service referrals from within the Services - Individual module)

  NOTE: Permissions are assigned using the Permissions Maintenance feature.  If you do not have access to that feature and need the permission listed here, please contact your supervisor or your local Help Desk for assistance.
