Within the health and welfare sector there’s an increasing responsibility for professionals on the frontline to not only identify and address current, but prevent further harm.
RapidReferral has been developed to guide you through this process, by helping you identify issues concerning a person’s wellbeing, get information on their nature and severity and recommend further referrals where needed. This is all achieved while balancing the rigour of a quality assessment, with the often time-pressured environment where screening takes place.
RapidReferral uses innovative software with a simple design interface to make the Screening, Brief Interventions and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) experience as pain-free as possible
RapidReferral has been developed using the latest SBIRT research, and is consistent with professional guidelines and outcomes research.
RapidReferral is easily customisable to meet the needs of your service, providing you with tailored questionnaires and your own referral networks.
RapidReferral includes interpretation of the results of questionnaires and recommends further action where needed.
RapidReferral is designed with time-pressured environments in mind, using tiered questionnaires to rapidly filter out those not requiring further screening questions.
Information collected from the the screens can be uploaded to a case management system (CaseStream) that allows services to collaborate using a common management plan, tracking, text messaging, emails and case notes.
Wellington Hospital Emergency Department have used Rataora to screen patients on the Friday and Saturday night shifts.
Over three years 3,424 patients have been screened of which 1,263 were identified as having an Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). People with a AUD were referred to a network of treatment services that included their GP; University Health Services; DHB outpatient alcohol and drug treatment service; and community based treatment providers. Some received weekly text messages
Police have been used Rataora at the Whanganui Station for almost 3 years and have screened 1,008 people on 1,239 occasions. Screening identified 622 people who had an AUD (including significant binge drinking) or used other drugs and wanted help to stop. This group of 622 were contacted by a psychologist by text or phone and where possible a referral made to a network of treatment providers.
