Referral helper

Three steps: what the client needs, where to send them, and a clean summary the receiving intake team can act on. Deep-links into the provider finder and guided pathways — nothing you enter leaves this browser.

Stays on this device. Everything you enter here is saved only in this browser (IndexedDB) and is never sent to Meridian or any server — it works offline. Because entries can include client information, use a private, encrypted device, and clear or export to your EHR when you're done. This is a scratchpad, not the medical record of truth.

1 · What does the client need?

Determined by town of residence — every NH town has one designated CMHC.

2 · Where to send them

Matched providers

Search Meridian's verified NH directory with your selections applied (choose facets above to narrow it).

Full guided pathway

For the complete decision flow — crisis evaluation vs. outpatient vs. higher level of care, ranked by age, area, and payer with intake numbers — use the guided referral pathway. Nothing you enter there leaves the browser either.

3 · Compose the referral summary

A clean, de-identified summary the receiving intake team can act on. Copy it into your secure channel — this page adds no identifiers.

Initials or chart code only — never a full name or DOB.

e.g. PHQ-9 16 (moderately severe) on 7/1; GAD-7 12. The measurement tools chart these per client.
