2. A patient presents to the emergency department and is seen in clinic by a specialist rather than wait in the ED.

3. A patient is referred to another clinic and during their appointment the consultant asks for a consult from another specialist team.

4. A data entry error has occurred and the appointment doesn't link to the referral.
