Independent, flexible management of clinic time slots
LGI Emergency Redirection allows partner clinics to manage time slots for redirected patients independently and to configure temporary closures. Safely identifying eligible patients, prioritizing family physicians and statistical reporting help effectively manage appointments at partner clinics.

Reduced costs for your facility and network
Treating a patient in the emergency department tends to be more costly than treating them in the clinic, which means that an effective referral tool can be more cost-effective for your facility and the health system as a whole. Using LGI Emergency Redirection helps to further improve network performance.

Faster patient intake management
Using a proven medical algorithm, the solution helps assess eligible patients and redirect them to an appointment at a clinic near the hospital, their home or their workplace, depending on where they will be seen most quickly. Patients leave the emergency department with a referral number, the date and time of their appointment, and a map to the clinic.
