## A Halifax referral waits on records scattered across the harbour

Downtown referrals set tight dates while the treating record spreads across peninsula clinics, Dartmouth practices, and hospital imaging. The visit gets booked against the full question set with half the answers on hand.

- Hospital imaging arrives without the requisition history.
- A psychiatric question lands with a physical examiner, or the reverse.

## What IMECore does about it

### Book against a real date

The report date shows from intake.

### The specialty the questions need

Matched to the referral, never assumed.

## How it runs

1. **Send the referral.** The referral letter, the questions, and the due date open the case.
2. **Set the setting.** In-person or video is confirmed before anything is booked.
3. **Build the file.** Treating records and imaging arrive with source and date attached.
4. **Answer every question.** The report releases when each referral question has an answer.

## Questions people ask

### Do you have an office in Halifax?

No. IMECore leases no examining rooms in Halifax. In-person visits are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer, and video assessments run across Nova Scotia.

### Does the examiner travel outside Halifax?

Travel for an in-person examiner is arranged and quoted per file, so a worker outside the city is never a reason to stall the referral.

### Can the whole file run by video?

Many examinations and most file reviews can. The referral confirms whether the questions need an in-person visit, and the booking follows that call.
