Creating Group Referral Progress (GRP) Reports

Using par8o to manage referrals provides insight to several metrics related to referral management that help managers understand how to improve the referral experience for the patient. 

The primary report is called the Group Referral Progress report and is available to both Office Admins and Client Admins, although Client Admins will be able to generate several other types of reports as well.

Once you generate a report, par8o will either automatically download the report to your computer or display the report on the web page, depending on the size of the report.

If you generate a report and close the web page, par8o will automatically email you a link to the report which is valid for 24 hours. If you want to view the report beyond the 24 hour time period, download the report before the link expires.

If you are a Client Admin, you can reduce the size of the report by adjusting the Created At and Updated At date selections and select Offices to run the report for.

To Create a Group Referral Progress Report:

  1. Click Reports.
  2. Click Group Referral Progress.
  3. Under Start Date, select the year, month, and date at which you'd like to begin the report.
  4. Under End Date, select the year, month, and date at which you'd like to end the report.
  5. Under Office, select whether you'd like to include information from all offices that you manage or a single office.
  6. Click Generate Report. Be patient while the report loads. If the report is large, a CSV file will automatically download to your PC. If the report is smaller, you have the option to download the report by clicking a Download CSV button.
