A white-glove referral experience

About half of reviewed referrals never need the visit.

Spectrum Plus: a specialist looks before the referral goes out.

An optional upgrade to Spectrum Referrals. When a curbside review would change the plan, a specialist weighs in within hours, not weeks. Referrals that still need a visit proceed with better context, clearer diagnostic steps and better-prepared patients. It runs in the background, with no new work for PCPs or staff.

Referral sent

The referral is submitted to PicassoMD as usual.

Spectrum routes it

Directionality picks the high-value specialist.

Curbside if useful

A specialist reviews it when input would change the plan.

Input to the PCP

The specialist’s answer comes back to the referring clinician.

Resolved or sent on

Handled upstream, or sent to the specialist with added clarity.

When Plus steps in

Only when specialist input adds clear clinical value. If it won’t change the referral, Plus stays out of the way and the referral goes straight to a high-value specialist.

Diagnostic uncertainty

Medication questions or specialty-specific management

Deciding whether a patient needs an in-person evaluation

Which imaging or labs should happen before the visit

Complex cases where upstream guidance prepares the patient

Results you can measure.

Consistent, transparent outcomes across cost, quality and patient experience, reported against your own value-based care goals.
