HOW THE REFERRAL WORKS
Three steps, with no friction for your patient.
01
We call the patient
Within 2 to 3 business days we contact the patient, send a brief pre-screening, and coordinate the initial evaluation, in Spanish or English. If you would rather coordinate the appointment yourself, say so in the form.
We coordinate the next steps
Isabel Zapata, APRN, PMHNP-BC, provides psychiatric evaluation and, when appropriate, medication management. You continue the care you provide to your patient. With the patient's authorization, we share clinically relevant information and treatment-plan recommendations to support continuity of care.
COORDINATED CARE
When a specialized mental health evaluation may be helpful.
Primary care is often the first setting where anxiety, depression and other mental health needs are identified and treated. In some cases, complementing that care with psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis or specialized medication management can help define the next step.
Situations in which a referral is often considered
Insufficient response to treatment
Anxiety or depression symptoms that persist despite one or more medication trials at an adequate dose and duration.
Diagnosis to be clarified
Diagnostic questions that call for a more complete evaluation; for example, when adult ADHD or bipolar disorder is suspected.
More complex medication
Several psychiatric medications at once, side effects that are hard to manage, or a need for fine adjustments and close follow-up.
Two clinical roles, one coordinated plan of care.
From primary care
The patient's overall health: their history, other conditions, lab work and continuity of care.
From Oasis Mental Care
Isabel Zapata, APRN, PMHNP-BC, provides psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis and medication management for adults ages 21 to 64, by video visit, in Spanish or English.
