Seattle Children’s strives to be a trusted and valuable partner to community providers in the care of their patients and the patients we share. We have developed tools to help ensure patients are treated in the most appropriate setting for their condition, ensuring specialty care access remains open for the patients who need it most.
It can be difficult to determine if and when a patient needs to be referred to a specialist. Our teams have work hard to develop algorithms, clinical standard work pathways, and other resources, to provide guidance on when a patient can effectively be managed in the primary care setting, and when they should be referred to Seattle Children’s.
