6. The method of claim 1 further comprising determining, by the analysis engine, before generating the potential referral, that the profile satisfies a clinical effectiveness requirement.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising scheduling, by the computing device, an appointment between the medical provider and the patient.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

determining that a medical provider in the plurality of medical providers is not available for the appointment; and

removing the medical provider from the plurality of medical providers, resulting in generation of the filtered set of medical providers.

9. A method for filtering, during an interaction between a patient and an operator, a plurality of search results generated during the interaction and automatically modifying a user interface displaying data associated with the filtered search results, the search results including at least one medical provider, the method comprising:

receiving, by an analysis engine executing on a computing device, during a patient interaction between a patient and an operator, an identification of a clinical need for an appointment;

analyzing, by the analysis engine, during the patient interaction, the identification of the clinical need and data associated with the patient;

determining, by the analysis engine, at least one patient requirement, based upon the analysis;

identifying, by the analysis engine, a plurality of medical providers as potential referrals for the patient, each of the plurality of medical providers having a profile that satisfies the determined at least one requirement;

identifying, by the analysis engine, for at least one medical provider in the plurality of medical providers, a medical provider requirement;

generating, by the analysis engine, a question to ask the patient during the interaction between the patient and the operator to determine whether the patient satisfies the identified medical provider requirement;

modifying, by the analysis engine, a user interface displayed to the operator, in real-time, during the interaction, the modification to the display including addition of an identification of the generated question to the user interface;

receiving, by the analysis engine, input to the user interface, the input including a response to the generated question;

accessing, by the analysis engine, at least one state machine to filter the plurality of medical providers, using the received input, resulting in a filtered set of medical providers, wherein accessing further comprises filtering out a medical provider in the plurality of medical providers when the input indicates the patient does not satisfy the medical provider requirement, wherein the at least one state machine is configured to be dynamically updatable during runtime;

identifying, by the analysis engine, for at least one medical provider in the filtered set of medical providers, a second medical provider requirement;

generating, by the analysis engine, a second question to ask the patient during the interaction based on the identified second medical provider requirement;

generating a second modification, by the analysis engine, to the user interface displayed to the operator, during the interaction, the second modification to the display including addition of an identification of the generated second question;

receiving, by the analysis engine, second input to the user interface, the second input including a response to the generated second question;

accessing the at least one state machine to filter the filtered set of medical providers, using the received second input, resulting in a second filtered set of medical providers; and

generating a third modification, by the analysis engine, to the user interface displayed to the operator, during the interaction, the third modification to the display including addition of an identification of each medical provider in the second filtered set of medical providers.

10. A method for filtering, during user interaction with a user interface, a plurality of search results generated during the interaction and automatically modifying the user interface displaying data associated with the filtered search results, the search results including at least one medical provider, the method comprising:
