This requirement is intended to ensure effective communication between healthcare providers, promoting coordinated care for the patient. Timely notification is crucial as it allows the referring practitioner to stay informed about the patient's treatment progress and any pertinent developments. This practice strengthens the collaborative approach to patient care, enhancing the overall quality and continuity of healthcare services.
