ATLAS Enterprise Software
Unique management processes for both referrals and patients
ATLAS Enterprise Software’s market approach
is that there are distinct differences between
the referral source and consumer, which
require management processes of their own.

Management (RAM) system to manage the
referral source process and communication
and also the Consumer Relationship
Management (CRM) system. Add this to the
ATLAS Electronic Prescription Function, which
enables DME and CRT providers to effectively
manage and engage with both the Referral
and Consumer with specific steps and clarity
to build and fortify the relationship while
generating new referrals and opportunities for
services to the consumer.
