# Appointment ### Overview The Appointment section for referring providers allows them to manage patient referrals efficiently. There are three main tabs: Pending, Completed, and Cancelled, each representing the status of the referral request.

### Pending Tab

* In this tab, referral requests from patients are displayed. * Basic details of the patient, such as name, date of birth, last visit date, referral creation date, requested specialization, and reason for referral, are shown. * Referring providers have two options: approve or decline the referral. 1. If the referral is approved, a pop-up screen appears where the referring provider must provide a reason before submitting.

2. If the referral is declined, a similar pop-up appears for providing a reason for the decline.

### Completed Tab * Referral requests that have been approved by the referring provider and a reason has been provided are moved to this tab. * These referrals have been successfully completed and addressed. ### Cancelled Tab * Referral requests that have been declined by the referring provider and a reason has been provided are moved to this tab. * These referrals have been cancelled due to the provider's decision. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
