System Requirements

You should be the one to dictate how things are done—not your Information and Referral software. That's why Resource House's Referral sets the standard for customization and flexibility. No matter what kind of client or caregiver data you need, this Web-based application can accommodate you.
Unlimited, unrestricted custom fields; a step-by-step interface; your own best-practice script, help and style guide displayed—newbies and volunteer staff can jump right in!
Not only that: Referral's Web base gives you access to both client/caregiver data and resource records across your service area. So now larger and smaller 211s can cooperate to provide 24/7 coverage, with full access to client/caregiver case logs and prior inquiries throughout the network. Plus, those shared client/caregiver records help you keep track of clients who move to or receive care in other parts of the coverage area.
With Referral, disasters need no longer shut you down: Web hosting means 211 staff can work from home if necessary. (This handy home-based option can also reduce office expenses.)

Referral's Meat & Potatoes
With all those innovations, you’d think there wouldn’t
be any room for the basic features you expect in a referral system.
But you can rely on Referral to deliver on the fundamentals—with
the same intuitive acumen we’ve built into its many advanced functions.
- Navigate mouse-free. If you'd rather use your keyboard
to navigate, Referral is happy to comply.
- Generate instant referrals.You can print or email
referrals to providers, clients and other callers directly from the
program.
- Jump to agency Websites for even more information.
Search results include direct links to agency Websites so you can
browse them in a separate window.

security system offers four permission categories for each client
or caller field—plus the option to restrict record deletion
privileges.
- Keep on top of staff follow-ups. Operators can
create follow-up tasks within any call session. Supervisors can monitor
staff follow-ups.
- Customize your screen names. You get to choose
your own names for all client and caregiver screens—and for

custom fields for each call record, you can track unique call data
each time a client calls.

Referral's Pause Timing feature ensures accurate reporting.

or Program by Name option lets you filter results by county.

any number of search features, such as wheelchair access, languages
spoken, etc.

Operators can add optional comments to any problem, unmet need or
outcome selected.

"Our staff has found that they can manage high call volumes and track ongoing
cases effectively because of the various ways Referral lets us sort calls—incomplete,
complete, by week, by month, etc. Being able to set follow-ups is another
big boost to efficiency."
