Now that we've explored what is not working for enterprise mobile apps, let's focus on what is working: designing your product work flows to drive direct exposure to new potential users and building in opportunities for indirect referrals through word-of-mouth virality.
Eligible patients were recruited from direct and indirect referrals over 4 years (September 2006 August 2010).
However, type of disease may explain half of the variability in the use of resources, measured by frequency (visits or contacts), indirect use (referrals to specialists), and direct costs (diagnostic tests, analyses and drug prescriptions) [ 6- 8].

The incentives for physician practices to acquire onsite imaging capacity extend beyond the indirect payment from a referral to a physician-owned service in a fee-for-service (FFS) payment system.
Direct and indirect costs associated with referral completion, were inputted into spreadsheets to estimate the average health facility type specific cost per child referred.
A study was designed to examine the outcomes of patients with closed comminuted subtrochanteric femoral fractures fixed with a dynamic condylar screw (DCS) and using biological (indirect) reduction techniques at a tertiary referral centre.
Direct and indirect medical costs were obtained from the referral centers.
Differences in trend found in referral rates could be an indirect effect of a higher consultation rate for diabetes within practices with primary care nurses.
Therapeutic nihilism was addressed in these studies in an indirect way, through physician self-report of referral or treatment approaches for lung cancer patients.
In addition to a 10-fold decrease in direct and indirect medical costs, patients in the 'early referral' group experienced significant decreases in time spent waiting for surgery (3.9 months in early referral versus 10.1 in 'gatekeeper' system) and time off work (6.6 versus 17.1 months).
