Evaluation of the Referral Process and Patterns to a Canadian Specialized Eating Disorders Treatment Program.
Conclusions: This is the first study in Canada to assess referral patterns to a specialized eating disorders program. Results from this study have elucidated the reasons for referral fall-through and highlighted areas of improvement in the referral process. Understanding referral trends is a necessary foundation to advance our knowledge of the factors that contribute to referrals materializing into assessments and ultimately optimizing patient care.
