Refer
The referring clinician submits the relevant clinical information through a structured referral form.

ROHIT
Referral, Outcomes, Handover & Inter-hospital Transfer
A structured and auditable pathway for specialist referral, clinical advice, handover and inter-hospital transfer.
Inspired by one patient’s journey. Built to improve the
pathways that follow.
The problem
Clinical decisions should not disappear into a chain of calls and bleeps.
Inter-hospital referral frequently requires several clinical teams to exchange complex information, reach the correct specialist, agree a plan and coordinate subsequent care.
When this process depends on repeated telephone calls, individual bleeps and disconnected messages, it can be difficult to establish who reviewed the patient, what advice was given, whether escalation occurred and what remains outstanding.
ROHIT creates a shared pathway around that clinical conversation. It gives the referring team a clear route to specialist advice and gives the receiving team the structured information needed to review and respond.
How it works
One clinical conversation, from referral to outcome.
Each stage contributes to a visible clinical record while professional judgement and responsibility remain with the clinicians involved.
Review
The specialist team receives the referral and records a named, time-stamped clinical review.
Respond
Advice and the agreed outcome are returned to the referring team through a documented pathway.
Continue
Updates and handover preserve clinical context until the referral reaches its appropriate conclusion.
The clinical record
Clarity about who reviewed what, when and why.
Structured information
Relevant clinical details are captured consistently rather than reconstructed during repeated calls.
Named review
The pathway records the clinician responsible for the specialist response.
Documented advice
The clinical recommendation and agreed outcome form part of an auditable record.
Visible continuity
Updates and handover reduce the risk of context being lost as responsibility passes between clinicians.
Service learning
Pathway data can help organisations understand demand, response and opportunities for improvement.
Designed for clinical teams
Useful at the bedside. Accountable at system level.
For referrers
A clear route to request specialist advice, provide the relevant information and receive a documented response.
For specialist teams
Consistent clinical information, visible prioritisation and continuity between reviewers and shifts.
For organisations
Greater visibility of referral activity, response, outcomes and opportunities for pathway improvement.
Intended role
ROHIT supports clinical communication. It does not make clinical decisions.
Clinical decisions remain with appropriately qualified clinicians. Users remain responsible for exercising professional judgement, following local escalation arrangements and responding to clinical deterioration through the appropriate emergency pathway.
ROHIT does not remove the need for direct discussion where the clinical situation requires it. Instead, it provides a dependable pathway and record around the referral and response.
ROHIT is not a substitute for emergency services, direct
primary PCI activation or any other established pathway for
an immediately life-threatening condition.
Clinical pathways
One platform, designed for different specialist services.

Safety is part of the pathway.
ROHIT is developed within a framework of clinical-safety management, information governance, human oversight and defined organisational responsibility.
Clinical safety
Hazard-led design, documented controls and named
clinical-safety accountability.
Information governance
Defined data flows, proportionate access and
transparent privacy information.
Human oversight
Clinical advice and decisions remain subject to review
and approval by qualified clinicians.
Shared responsibility
Supplier and deploying-organisation responsibilities
are defined as part of implementation.
