Zusammenfassung:Examples described herein generally relate to referring a patient to a provider for a drug use disorder. A computer system accesses a plurality of provider data records. The system determines a geographical location of the patient. The system searches, within a geographical distance of the geographical location for a provider that satisfies patient requirements based on a patient data record. The system determines one or more certified providers that are certified to treat a condition of the patient. The system determines that one or more of the certified providers has an available opening for the patient. The system determines an outcome rating for the patient and each certified provider based on the patient data record. The system matches the patient to a certified provider with a best outcome rating that accepts payment from a payer for the patient. The system refers the patient to the matched provider.
