FOREWORD
This Manual was developed to serve as a guide in setting-up the referral
system in the devolved health facilities. It shall provide the health workers with
a common framework to effectively operate the health referral system.
The health referral system described in this Manual shall enhance the
operation of the Inter-Local Health Zone (ILHZ) System and the Sentrong
Sigla Program of the Department of Health (DOH). The standard criteria and
procedures in this Manual were based on the guidelines of DOHs Bureau of
Health Facilities and Services (BHFS), National Center for Health Facility
Development (NCHFD), and public health programs. It also considered the
World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines on health referral systems and
the experiences of health personnel relative to the efficient and effective
delivery of health services to the population.
This document, developed in collaboration with specialists, experts, and
users of health referral systems, is for the benefit of new public health
practitioners.

Types of Referrals
Referrals may be internal or external.
A. Internal referrals are those which take place within the health facility
and from one health personnel to another (i.e., doctor to doctor,
resident to specialist, or nurse to MHO). Reasons for referral may
vary and may be any of the following:
Opinion or suggestion;
Co-management; and
Further management or specialty care.
The referral system shall operate within the framework of the Inter-Local
Health Zone (ILHZ). In the ILHZ concept, a referral system is often called
two-tiered since it involves mainly (1) the barangay health station, rural
health facility, and primary referral hospital (municipal hospital) which
provides primary medical care, and (2) a core referral hospital (district
hospital) which provides secondary care. In situations where a provincial
hospital falls within an ILHZs coverage area, the provincial hospital will act
as the core referral hospital. A referral within the ILHZ will only be as strong
as the weakest link in the chain of health facilities.
The linkages and lines of administrative communication / supervision
shall be managed by an ILHZ manager or its equivalent (a concurrent
capacity agreed upon by the members of ILHZ Board) and likewise,
administratively linked to the Provincial Health Office (PHO). The details of
such an organizational set-up will be one of the issues decided upon by the
local chief executives.
The movement of people through the health system from the first
contact to the first referral hospital will depend on the referral mechanism.
For the referral system to function well, competent personnel should be
assigned at the lower levels, especially the health centers, with

The Provincial Health Officer (PHO) should initiate the idea of setting up
a referral system with technical support from the DOH. Key individuals from
different health facilities should also be involved.
For the referral system to work, it is assumed that an Inter-Local Health
Zone (ILHZ) or its equivalent is in place, and that the ILHZ board or
committee has been organized. In the absence of the latter, a task force
can be created to spearhead the project. The task of the ILHZ board is to
conduct a situational analysis on the current state of health care in the
proposed operational area. A good model is to use strategic planning as a
tool to see where you are and where you want to go in terms of the
referral system.

Introduction
Operation of the Health Referral System
1. Policies and guidelines
Point persons from each member facility;
Referral structure;
Use of transport vehicles;
Referrals during off-hours and holidays;
Medico-legal cases;
Cross-boundary referrals;
Use of referral notes / standards forms;
Budgetary support;
Fees (e.g., charges on use of facilities);
Settling disputes, controversies;
Monitoring and evaluation;
Regular review of policies and guidelines;
Human resource / skills development programs; and
Others.
2. Flowchart of facilities within the referral network

D.
The promotion of the health referral system need not be a fancy event.
This can be done in the form of an orientation meeting to inform all those in
the ILHZ of the existence of such a system, and how it works.
Eventually, the community should be informed. This activity must be
included in the communication plan of the ILHZ.
E.
There are several factors that affect the flow of a health referral system.
It depends on the geographical location, competencies of health personnel,
availability of supplies, health facility capability, and the customs and
practices of the people.
Because of these factors, the flowchart of the referral system should be
followed, to minimize, if not, avoid delays. Following the flowchart can also
prevent the duplication of services.

B.
Once the reason(s) for the referral has been addressed, the
patient shall be referred back with a corresponding return
referral slip containing the following:
Diagnosis;
Diagnostic interventions, if any;
Therapeutic interventions;
Condition upon discharge;
Instructions / advices given;
Activities to be undertaken by the receiving health facility; and
Discharge summary, if confined in a hospital.

This shall also include current hospital initiatives like the hospital as

should have the capability to respond to life-threatening surgical
emergencies, such as, chest injuries requiring tube insertion, ruptured
appendicitis, etc. The hospital should have the necessary expertise and
facilities to be able to respond to all of these. (Check box if available in your

The BHS is the first facility in the public health system. It is manned by
a cadre of volunteer BHWs (Barangay Health Workers) under the
supervision of the RHM.
The MHO normally conducts diagnostic
consultations and gives prescriptions and referrals on a regular basis in the
BHS. The BHWs are trained in preventive health care with a strong
emphasis on maternal and childcare, family planning and reproductive
health, nutrition and sanitation, as well as, prevention and care of common
diseases.
B.
There are two types of human resources involved in the health delivery
system: the hospitalbased personnel and the public health personnel.
Following are the summary profiles of each type of key personnel:
