PATH Report - Referrals Provided

The following section of this guide is meant to help connect how different lines of the PATH Report in the Referrals Provided section are connected to the data entry in HMIS, specifically contacts, date of engagement, and referrals.

**** Please remember that the only clients for which the Referrals Provided section of the PATH Report will populate are those who have a Date of Engagement and Date of PATH Status Determination completed. ****

Type of Referral

First select at least one Need the reason for which you are making this referral to the community partner.
