referral form

Patient transfer document

A referral form is a document used to direct someone to another service, specialist, or program.

In healthcare, a doctor completes a referral form to send a patient to a specialist: The clinic faxed over the referral form before my appointment.

Similar forms exist in social services, education, and employment contexts—any situation where one party formally recommends or transfers someone to another.
