## A St. John's referral holds the province's hardest questions with half the record

Complex files gather in the capital while treating notes trail in from around the bay. The examiner gets the date before getting the file, and the report goes out with a question unanswered.

- Treating notes trail the referral by weeks.
- The report answers diagnosis and skips the capacity question.

## What IMECore does about it

### Records chased before booking

Gaps are named while there is still time to fill them.

### Travel quoted per file

Travel for an in-person examiner is arranged and quoted per file.

## 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 St. John's?

No. IMECore leases no examining rooms in St. John's. In-person visits are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer, and video assessments run across Newfoundland and Labrador.

### Does the examiner travel to the worker?

Travel for an in-person examiner is arranged and quoted per file, so distance never decides the referral. Video assessments run across the province where the questions allow.

### 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.
