Pertinent professional information about prospective patients should be provided by a physician, hospital, clinic, or appropriate public agency. This information should be submitted for the guidance of the hospital staff in determining suitability for admission and subsequently in the evaluation and treatment of the patient. No specific form is required for this purpose. Referrals should be addressed to the director of the hospital, who will notify the referring source, of action taken.
