Berta W et al. - Referrals for consultation present an opportunity to improve continuity of information between primary care providers and medical specialists. In this study, 24 essential components of information that should be included in referral documents for adult patients with asthma were identified, and these elements were used to create a sample referral document. Panelists indicated that omission of these elements would lead to delays in provision of care and to frustrating expenditures of time and effort by patients and their care providers.
