Referral Management Solutions for Hospitals Germany

Streamline patient referrals, cut wait times, and strengthen care coordination across Germany’s hospital network—securely and at scale.

Transforming Referral Pathways in Germany

German hospitals operate within one of the world’s most advanced yet highly regulated healthcare ecosystems. Despite cutting-edge clinical excellence, outdated referral workflows often slow patient access to specialist care, create administrative bottlenecks, and expose providers to compliance risks. Cabot’s Referral Management Solution re-engineers the entire journey—from the moment a general practitioner submits a referral to the point the patient is scheduled, treated, and feedback is routed back.

Our platform centralises referrals, automates triage based on urgency and specialty, and delivers real-time status updates to referrers, patients, and hospital teams. Built to align with German guidelines and GDPR requirements, the solution integrates seamlessly with hospital information systems (HIS), electronic health records (EHR), and national e-Prescription services. By combining deep domain expertise with robust technology, we help German providers shorten waitlists, optimise capacity planning, and elevate patient satisfaction—all while ensuring full data privacy and interoperability.

Whether you operate a university clinic in Berlin or a regional community hospital in Bavaria, Cabot equips your organisation with the digital backbone necessary to deliver faster, safer, and more coordinated care.
