## The referral names a SAAQ or CNESST deadline and the file lives in three places

A SAAQ or CNESST referral sets a date while family-doctor notes, physiotherapy reports, and imaging sit in different places. Booking before the file is whole leaves the examiner short of the record that answers the question.

- SAAQ no-fault files and CNESST workplace files need different questions on the same desk.
- The report answers diagnosis and skips the return-to-work question.

## What IMECore does about it

### The regime is set on intake

SAAQ, CNESST, disability, or civil liability is marked on the case.

### Records with source and date

Gaps show before booking, not after.

## 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.
