Referral process overview
Referring your non-valvular Afib (NVAF) patients to an implanting physician is an easy 3-step process: educate, document and send.
Step 1:
Educate
Educate your patients on the benefits and risks of the WATCHMAN Implant. Review the procedure and patient education materials listed above. Provide the implanting physician's contact information and encourage your patient to follow up with next steps.
Step 2:
Document
Using a referral form or electronic medical record (EMR) — depending on the implanting physician’s preferred method — document your consultation so the implanting physician has access to all referral information.
Step 3:
Send
Send the referral to an implanting physician by using the implant finder or through your standard referral channels.
