Your referrals

What needs you, who is arriving, and where every patient you referred stands. Families are told directly when anything changes; you are told here and by email when something waits on you.

Needs you 2

Things only you can supply. Each one holds a trip.
Priya Natarajan
Medical release missing. Everything else is in. Maria cannot accept the referral or post it to pilots until it is attached. Appointment Nov 10, so there are eight days to find a pilot, which is enough if it arrives this week.
Elena Marsh
Maria asks: "The one pilot free on Nov 12 lands at San Diego about 1:00 pm. Could Elena's 10:30 appointment move to the afternoon? If not, we keep looking, but it gets tight."
Could use your help
Rosa Alvarez
Miguel has not signed the waiver for Thursday's flight home, and two texts since Saturday went unanswered. The flight out tomorrow is fine. You see him at the clinic tomorrow at 1:30; a word from you usually does it.

Arriving 2

Today and tomorrow, at your hospital. The front desk can have this.
Today 11:00
Daniel Okafor · Jacobs Medical Center
Landed San Diego 9:36 am, in his ride from the airport since 9:50. At Jacobs by about 10:20. Travelling alone, English. Flies home this afternoon.
Tue 1:30 pm
Rosa Alvarez · Moores Cancer Center
Lands San Diego about 9:40 am; morning fog may move that to 12:35. Either way she is at Moores before 1:30 by the UCSD shuttle. With her son Miguel, who speaks for her. Spanish. Wheelchair to the door.

What this page shows, and what it does not
Milestones for patients you referred, the things waiting on you, and where your help would move a family along. Not the pilot's name, the aircraft or the weather calls: pilots are volunteers, the family hears who is flying them on their own page once it is confirmed, and the coordinator makes the weather decisions.
Your partner link is yours, not the department's. Referrals you made stay visible to whoever takes over your patients. The day-of line is (310) 555-0100, and it knows which of your patients is travelling.
