The Health Care Reference Letter is a crucial document within Saudi Arabia's healthcare system, used to facilitate proper patient referrals and ensure continuity of care. This document is required when transferring patient care between healthcare providers, seeking specialist consultations, or requesting specific medical services at different facilities. It must comply with the Saudi Ministry of Health's documentation requirements and the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties' professional standards. The letter includes comprehensive patient information, relevant medical history, current condition, and specific referral details, while maintaining patient confidentiality under Saudi Arabian health information protection laws. It serves as an official communication tool between healthcare providers and is often required for insurance approval and medical record purposes.
